Would the Hugs folk be willing to adopt (2)?
Please correct me if I'm wrong: The two syntaxes are: (i) let ?x = foo in bar (ii) bar with ?x = foo Surely we could use *zero* extra identifiers by writing: (ia) let ?x = foo in bar (iia) bar where ?x = foo i.e., s/dlet/let/ and s/with/where/ . I thought this was mentioned at the Haskell Implementors' Meeting. --KW 8-) -- Keith Wansbrough <kw217@cl.cam.ac.uk> http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/kw217/ Cambridge University Computer Laboratory.
