Re: [Haskell-cafe] Creating an alias for a function

car = head letting the compiler infer the type, or car :: [a] -> a car = head for the explicit version. -Ross On Oct 6, 2009, at 10:01 PM, michael rice wrote:

How do I create an alias for a function, like giving CAR the same functionality as HEAD. I know I can do it by creating a definition (see below), but is there a better way, like Scheme's

(define head car)

car :: [a] -> a car x = head x

The reason for doing this is to more closely mirror legacy code.
