Re: Add haskell-src as an official machine-readable component of the Haskell standard

(Moving to Café)
(Examples of controversies possible in haskell-src: we have the Hs prefix on constructors everywhere, we can't provide fixity information (and the haskell-src-exts implementation of this is unsatisfactory in several important ways) ...
What ways? http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-src-exts/ :-) Cheers, /Niklas

For what it's worth, I'm writing an sexpr haskell -> vanilla haskell converter, so I built an AST with haskell-src-exts and use the pretty printer to output haskell. I can rewrite (* 1 2 3) to 1 * 2 * 3, or (-> a b c d) to a -> b -> c -> d, and thus associativity is preserved. Pretty nice. Anyway, thanks for your awesome library. :-)
