Hi,
Are cool kids supposed to put the comma in front like this? Some cool kids do, some cool kids don't. Some do both, depending on their mood.
The advantage of a leading , is that now the comma's line up, and if you want to add an item on the end of a list [a ,b ,c ] It's just a one line change, whereas with the comma after, you'd have to change the previous line as well - which is more effort and gives more noise in the darcs copy. Thanks Neil
