Is this valid syntax? I get a syntax error in 6.10.1, and I don't see it documented in the FFI report.

That's why I called it pseudocode. No, it's not valid syntax, though it wouldn't have overly surprised me if it were. You probably get the idea, though; importing a symbol, instead of a function. Actually reading the FFi got me this, though: foreign import ccall "&" bytestring :: Ptr Word8 foreign import ccall "&" bytestring_end :: Ptr Word8 -- Svein Ove Aas
