Why do you want to rewrite the indenter in Haskell? If haskell-mode has any external dependencies such as that one, it will most likely never make it into Emacs.

May be you can use semantic to make a parser? Semantic is already included into emacs, and I hope, that it will make life easier. Plus we'll automatically get lot of other functionality - name completion, navigation, etc.

My understanding is that semantic is more aimed at C-like languages (I seem to recall reading a discussion a while back about someone trying to use semantic to parse Python or something like that and failing), and as such wouldn't work too well for Haskell. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
