I've submitted:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-prime/ticket/124
which I hope covers the essence of the result of this thread.
I'd hate to have to import things like Data.Function for such trivial functions as (.) and ($), which are so often used that they become almost like control structures and keywords in themselves. What did people think of my idea of a stripped down prelude containing primarily the functions like (.) and ($)? Here'd be my list: 1. Almost like control structures otherwise (.) flip ($) 2. To make including literals sane Char String Int Integer Num(..) 3. Other basic functions Eq(..) Ord((<), (>), (<=), (>=)) Show(show) 4. Miscellaneous id const undefined Of course, the precise details would be debateable. -- -David House, dmhouse@gmail.com
