Great, thanks. BTW, Hoogle does not seem to know about System.Posix.Files, though it did point me to System.IO.FileSize which would also have served the purpose.
Yep, this was discussed in a Hoogle and Network.Socket thread I started last week. There is a wiki for summarizing thoughts [1]. Some time this weekend or next week I intend to submit a Hoogle ticket proposing what I see as an agreeable outcome. At that point I hope Neil will accept and maybe even find time to write code. The final step would involve me buying Neil a beer - I've lots of beer-debt to the Haskell community.
Thanks Michael and Neil, for maintaining Hoogle. Hoogle is becoming a victim of it's own success. We depend on it and so want it to do everything :-). I cannot edit the wiki page because creating new logins is currently disabled. My only suggestion is that perhaps the Hoogle front page should have a discrete disclaimer about the current scope of indexed packages until a solution is found. It might be useful for someone new.
