All, http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3058 Attached is a patch for Text.PrettyPrint.HughesPJ that adds a 'hex' function to print hexidecimal numbers. The only point that I exepect to be contended is it varies slightly from the surrounding functions in that it allows one to control the number of characters printed:
hex 5 31 0001f hex 2 8 08 hex 3 7495 d47
While we can argue about the consistancy issues, I almost always want to control the number of digits when dealing with hex. Hence I feel this is a reasonable special case. Secondary Issues: 1) Is there a repo for pretty? I didn't see one on code.haskell.org 2) If I submit a ticket+patch to move Text.PrettyPrint.HughesPJClass (from prettyclass, Augustsson) into Text.PrettyPrint (of the 'pretty' package) would anyone object? It feels mis-placed / I feel things need consolidated. Thomas
