The report states about getChar, getLine, and getContents: "By default, these input functions echo to standard output." In version 1.3 of the report, it used to continue "Functions in the I/O library provide full control over echoing." Apparently, this has been removed and the I/O library contains neither facilities to control echoing nor a specification of what the h-cousins hGetChar, hGetLine, and hGetContents are supposed to do wrt echoing. Can I rely on them not to echo their inputs? -Peter
