Hi again, all. In my NLP.Prelude file, I define:
newtype Token = Token [Word8]
and I export only the type, not the constructor because I don't users of my package to be able to inspect/modify the list directly. However, in my NLP.IO module, in which I define IO for some of my data types, I need to be able to access it directly. In Java/C#, I would make Token public and the constructor protected (i.e., public for the current package but private for other people). I would really like to be able to do something similar. Any ideas? - Hal -- Hal Daume III "Computer science is no more about computers | hdaume@isi.edu than astronomy is about telescopes." -Dijkstra | www.isi.edu/~hdaume
