Hi
There are a couple of things about that function...
First, I did see it, but its description is rather vague on what it does. From the description, it sounds like it is possible that it would not return an absolute path; I read it more as expanding symlinks. If it does indeed return an absolute path, I think that should be stated explicitly for clarity.
More fatally it's only implemented on GHC, not for any reason, but because whoever originally implemented it only used GHC! It's explicitly #ifdef'd to do nothing (just a return) on other compilers. I also hate the name. I know plenty of people who wanted the function, but none who ever found it...
Thanks, BTW, for the library you're maintaining. I use it heavily.
Thanks. Ditto, I use MissingH heavily too :) (and hope to make Yhc depend on it shortly...) Neil
