Yes, I probably should - I'll try and get to that. Of course, I'd also
happily accept a patch against
http://community.haskell.org/~ndm/darcs/uniplate
I use Uniplate inside HLint, and it's invaluable - there are a lot of
times when List Comp + universeBi really hits the spot.
Does Uniplate include an instance for:
> instance Uniplate a => Biplate [a] a
?
Since lists are a common case, I was surprised that this instance wasn't included. Is there a reason it shouldn't exist? I was importing Data.Generics.Uniplate.Direct FWIW.
Thanks,
