Re: [PATCH 0/3] Implement nand/nor/nany/nall in Data.List

Agreed, -1 for me too for the same reason. Erik On Thu, Feb 27, 2014 at 5:17 PM, Gregory Collins wrote:

Thanks for the patches. This is a -1 vote from me: in general lately the trend has been against adding shorthand functions that can be expressed as the trivial combination of a few other combinators, especially in base.

Hi. I'm a complete GHC newbie (and, really, a Haskell newbie still as well). To dive in and learn, I hacked together this.

I did it primarily to familiarise myself with GHC workflow, formalities and procedures. Things like style conventions, using Trac, learning how to build GHC, how the files are structured and so on.

However, my primary intention of learning does not mean that I don't find these patches valuable. I'm sick of typing (not . and), and even more sick of reading it. I find nand much more intuitive to read.

Herbert told me to send these here since they affect base. I can imagine people are vary of putting stuff in base, and certainly prelude. But if I seem ignorant and ahistorical, that's because I *am*. So please, if there is something wrong with my patches, don't hesitate to educate me. Learning the ways of GHC hacking is after all my long-term goal. :-)
