- pretty much everyone *except* the Haskell community accepted that expecting cpp to handle anything other than C and derivatives was a mistake back when ANSI C came out;
Having managed to completely omit the point of this observation: the C / C++ / ObjC / etc. communities are under no obligation whatsoever to ensure that their tools do anything sensible with Haskell code. Indeed, strict ANSI compliance prohibits doing so because of lexical differences such as ' being allowed in identifiers and # in operators (or identifiers with -XMagicHash). -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
