Maybe. Doubles 'show' function always print something after the decimal separator, so 'show [doubles]' is easy to parse but difficult for human reading. It would be nice to have a space between elements of a shown list, though. It's an annoyance, but internationalization is really great, I think it deserves the effort.

Wouldn't that make it hard to parse lists of floats?

Hi,
A small annoyance some users outside english speaking countries usually experiment when learning programming languages is that real numbers use a '.' instead of ','. Of course, that is not such a problem except for the inconsistence between computer and free hand notation.
Do you think 'read' (actually, 'readsPrec'?) could be made to also read the international convention (ie., read "1,5" would also work besides read "1.5")? I'm happy to finaly use a language where I can use words of my language to name variables, so I wonder if we could also make that step.
Thanks, Maurício
