Sometimes I wish for a -fphp flag that would turn some type errors into warnings. [...] GHC could substitute 'y = error "Couldn't match expected type `[a]' against inferred type `()'"' and compile anyway.

PHP doesn't really do dynamic type errors, though. To be more like PHP, the -fphp flag should surely coerce y to a list, using read and show if possible and otherwise using unsafeCoerce. -- Jason Dusek ()  ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\  www.asciiribbon.org   - against proprietary attachments
