I don't think it's practical to edit all the .cabal packages as they come in to say:
ghc-options: -F -pgmF hspp

Duncan, is there a way this can be done?
I hope not! :-)
If you want to view API docs in this alternate style then the right place to insert your hack is in haddock. You can then build all your packages with --haddock-options=--transform_to_underscore_style.
Yes, I understand that. I was actually talking about the reverse transformation. Richad O'Keefe has written a pre-processor (hspp) that will translate underscore (or hyphen) style to camelCase. By putting the above line in my project's .cabal file, it worked only up to a point. the point where it broke is because I was using ok_url from Network.URL. my use of it was getting translated to okURL, which causes a compile failure. So I could fix this failure by unpacking Network.URL, editing it's .cabal file to add the above line, and re-installing it.. But this is likely to trickle through all the packages I have installed. So I was looking for a way to make it the default. But I guess this won't scale (if a package already has a pgmF preprocessot, there would be a conflict). -- Colin Adams Preston, Lancashire, ENGLAND
