eg, I recently wanted
case2 foo of ...
as sugar for
foo >>= \output-> case output of ...
Yes, often miss OCaml's 'function' and SML's 'fn' syntax which allow dispatching without inventing a temporary name for the argument nor the function. Today I ran across exactly your case. In non-pure languages you would just write 'case foo of'. I would be happy with just 'function': get >>= function ... -> ... ... -> ... I wonder if these parts of Haskell's syntax will stay forever or there is a chance of some more syntactic sugar. -- __("< Marcin Kowalczyk * qrczak@knm.org.pl http://qrczak.ids.net.pl/ \__/ ^^ SYGNATURA ZASTÊPCZA QRCZAK
