which reminds me: - Patrik Jansson, while chasing bottoms, found some nice examples of not-nice-at-all interactions of strictness and the pattern-matching translation; I don't recall the details, but I do recall that I was not all that happy that those equations and not-equations were really what the report implied they should be. there are a few examples on slide 3 of this talk: http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~patrikj/talks/refactoringworkshop040209.pdf - the Programatica project has a Haskell-in-Haskell implementation, which apart from a possible candidate for such a library, prompted many investigations into the oddities of Haskell 98, strictness aspects of pattern matching amongst them, iirc; I think Bill Harrison was involved in most of those papers: http://www.cs.missouri.edu/~harrison/publications.html have I just misssed it, or has neither been discussed yet on this list? I do hope that the committee is soliciting input from all such investigations that may be relevant for this revision, even if the authors themselves do not put their results forward again. but among all the items on the main haskell prime page, I cannot find the obvious one: a collection of links and references relevant to the process (there are many links scattered all over the wiki/ticket tracker/mailing list archives, but is there an organised collection?). cheers, claus
