The other separate proposal that I would like to propose (at some time in the future) is a thorough removal of "lazy IO" from base. Or at least make it not available in the Prelude (ie., people have to ask for it if they want it). Perhaps this would require the support of Haskell'?
I very much like the lazy O in lazy IO, e.g. with this real-life code line: hPutStrLn stderr $ "Out of " ++ show (IxS.size (binaries unstable `IxS.union` binaries testing)) ++ " binary packages, " ++ show (IxS.size unmod) ++ " are unmodified, but " ++ show (IxS.size affected) ++ " are possibly affected." Thanks to lazy IO, I get a very nice feedback about what the code is doing right now, and how long the various values take to calculate.
