Brandon Allbery is suggesting that things that promote interoperability are a good idea. I'm sorry you find this an unpalatable notion; perhaps Haskell should forcibly reject all conceivable real world usage in order to properly meet your expectations. (Note that this may well include the usage that spawned this sorry thread; presumably a desire for interaction between subprocesses is not because it's operating in a hermetically sealed compartment isolated from the rest of the world.) -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
