We could fix it fairly easily, we just need to get rid of HasBounds as a superclass of MArray and add a new method 'getBounds' that returns the bounds in the monad and then modify the default methods to use getBounds rather than bounds. since they are all already in the monad this will work just fine.
it would be almost perfectly backwards compatable, the only change would be some code might need to list HasBounds in their type signatures seperatly. If we can get this in before the next release of ghc that would be really great.
SM> I've added a ticket, scheduled for 6.6. i just want to mention that current implementation is faster than this general one and enough for most of usages. so it will be great to make more general interface but use old implementation. then anyone who implemented resizable arrays will get possibility to make them an instance of MArray class. -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
