I faintly remember that there was once work on a Haskell specific preprocessor. Why was the work abandoned?

I had some ideas, which I put together in a note http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~kw217/research/paper-abstracts.html#Wansbrough99:Ma... but most people seemed to believe that a lazy language shouldn't need macros or a preprocessor (despite the liberal use of both in GHC, for example). --KW 8-) -- Keith Wansbrough <kw217@cl.cam.ac.uk> http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/kw217/ University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory.
