I'm baffled. Is this some sort of 'in' joke at ICFP? Then remember the rest of the world can see this list.
All yays from committee members please reply with yes to this email :)
If this is to the committee, shouldn't it be on the committee list? (I mean ghc-steering-committee.)
Or is there some other committee? I thought the Haskell-prime forum and process was dead/replaced by the github proposals process?
It's complementary to the GitHub repo. It seemed easier to discuss general things via e-mail. At risk of me sounding like a complete dork: I find it
rather useful that I can compare numbers for equality and show them. (That is, without having to write my own instances.)
All the standard instances of Num do have instances for Eq, Ord, and other usual classes. If you mean that you're comparing a parametric Num a => a, you'll be disappointed when you upgrade to GHC 7.4.1: https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/7.4.1/docs/html/users_guide/release-7-4-1...
