I can't see the context of the beginning of this thread, but I've always found:

fromList [("hello",1),("there",2)]

I never liked that. Too much syntax overhead. But this clears it right up: foo = fromList [ "hello" >: 1, "there" >: 2 ] where (:>) = (,) And also I haven't been following the thread, so this may not be any kind of answer. Luke
