As an example: foo = u"abc\N{VULGAR FRACTION ONE HALF}"
Hmm, looks nice, and sensible. But as soon as you've got \N{....} syntax I want:
"foo\E{show i}bar"
i.e. embed expressions in strings. I think this would be fantastic.
why not simpy "foo\E{i}bar" ?
What if i is a string? You'd get: foo"i"bar Having different behaviour for string vs everything else would be equally bad.
joinPath' root name = import.System.FilePath.joinPath [root,name]
i.e. doing an import and use at the same time.
and why not simply System.FilePath.joinPath (without the import.) ?
That is the same as saying everything is always in scope but fully qualified. I'd rather have to explicitly say which modules were being used - I'm not sure my enhanced import idea is a good idea at all. Thanks Neil
