i can't understand. does this list supposed to be full list of changes in haskell'? it seems to include mainly supplementary syntax changes while even Rank2Types are not here, the same for assoc. types, GADTs and other fundamental type system improvements
This is not a complete list of what would be in a next "major Haskell standard (what we've all been calling Haskell'). The problem of producing a new major standard in one step has proven intractable to date. Instead, given the state of completed addenda beyond Haskell 98, this is a provisional list of features that the Haskell' committee thinks would be feasible to include in a 2010 revision of the Haskell standard. We're *very* open to considering features not on this list (consider the results of the various straw polls, for example), but to be eligible for consideration for Haskell 2010 any additional proposals would need a completed, high-quality addendum by August, so the clock is ticking... - Ravi
