Re: [jhc] dynamic library support?

you use the '-p' option like '-pcontainers'. The p stands for 'package'. I sometimes call libraries packages and vice versa. I had some reasoning for this back in the day, but it may no longer be relevant, what do people think I should do to clean up the terminology?

even GHC has/had this confusion. What's the difference anyway? Well I guess a package can be an executable program, or can be a library. I doubt the terminology makes much difference, just pick something consistent. Maybe you use '-p' and not '-l' so that '-l' can mean exactly what it means to the C compiler? -Isaac
