Since yours is the first actual flame I can remember ever being posted to any Haskell list, I think this counts as the beginning of the end of civilisation as we know it. :-) At least, the beginning of the end of civilised discussion. And couldn't you guess - over lexical syntax! :-)
Guess that means civilisation is as fragile as the syntax, eh? :-) -- from: http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/syntax-iso.html#sectB.4 impspec -> ( import1 , ... , importn [ , ] ) (n>=0) | hiding ( import1 , ... , importn [ , ] ) (n>=0) exports -> ( export1 , ... , exportn [ , ] ) (n>=0) stmts -> stmt1 ... stmtn exp [ ; ] (n>=0) stmt -> exp ; | pat <- exp ; | let decls ; | ; (empty statement) ... What would be the proper way to propose that: | ( exp1 , ... , expk ) (tuple, k>=2) | [ exp1 , ... , expk ] (list, k>=1) be amended to: | ( exp1 , ... , expk [ , ] ) (tuple, k>=2) | [ exp1 , ... , expk [ , ] ] (list, k>=1) --D'gou
