Hello,
Thanks a lot, this helps a bit, but access to function bodies is exactly what I need. Or being more precise, I need the functionality of ghci's command ':t'. So functions that behave as follows, where everything is of course meta-represented in some way as ADT:
Prelude Data.Typeable> typeOf (\a -> (Just (a:""))) (\a -> (Just (a:""))) :: Char -> Maybe [Char]
Prelude Data.Typeable> getDomain $ typeOf (\a -> (Just (a:""))) [Char]
Prelude Data.Typeable>getCodomain $ typeOf (\a -> (Just (a:""))) (Maybe [Char])
Data.Typeable should allow for all of the previous.
Prelude Data.Typeable>getTypeConstructors (Maybe [Char]) [ (Just) :: [Char] -> Maybe [Char] , (Nothing) :: Maybe [Char] ]
Prelude Data.Typeable>getTypeConstructors [Char] [ (:) :: Char -> [Char] -> [Char] , ([]) :: [Char] ]
Data.Generics allows you to do this (to a certain extent), i.e. there is a function dataTypeConstrs :: DataType -> [Constr] -Jeff --- This e-mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
