Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the IO monad reminder.

What is GHC.Int.Int32? Can't find it on Hoogle.

Michael

==================

*Main> ht <- new (==) dummy :: IO MyHashTable

<interactive>:1:15:
    Couldn't match expected type `GHC.Int.Int32'
           against inferred type `Int'
    In the second argument of `new', namely `dummy'
    In a stmt of a 'do' expression:
        ht <- new (==) dummy :: IO MyHashTable
*Main> :t dummy
dummy :: String -> Int
*Main>

Just in case it's not clear:

> ht <- new (==) dummy :: IO MyHashTable

only works at the prompt or in an IO do-block, not at the top level of the module.
