I think the use of FilePath is not a good idea to begin with. A file path should be a data type something like this, IMHO:
type Segment = String data FilePath = Path [Segment] | RootedPath [Segment]
You shouldn't write slashes or backslashes which are converted later, you should use a, say :/: operator to build paths portably right from the start.
I don't think I will be happy with that. Most of I/O functions in Haskell uses FilePath as String. If we use data type instead of String we need to pretty print/parse the structure each time when we use it for I/O. Cheers, Krasimir __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
