L.S., Much has already been said about strictness, but what I haven't seen discussed sofar, and what am missing in the Haskell Report, is a description of the strictness of parameters of functions and operators. It is often important to know the strictness to prevent space leaks and even for the correctness of a program. A description of strictness in the Haskell' report would not only enable more reliable design of Haskell programs, but also prevent difference in strictness between the compilers/interpreters. -- Best regards, Henk-Jan van Tuyl -- http://members.chello.nl/hjgtuyl -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: https://secure.bmtmicro.com/opera/buy-opera.html?AID=789433
