(Oh dear, I sent the below e-mail from the wrong address /again/. Will take this as a cue to faff with my mail client settings, and in the meanwhile apologise to Gregory and Bas for the duplication; please do not reply to my address at srcf.net) On Fri, Jan 11, 2013 at 03:00:58PM -0500, Gregory Collins wrote:
Hi all,
First: Bas, would you support making case-insensitive a Haskell platform package?
Assuming you say yes, I'd like to propose it for inclusion in the Haskell platform. The wiki page for this proposal is here:
http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/wiki/Proposals/case-insensitive
And the case-insensitive package can be found on Hackage:
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/case-insensitive
If Bas is not willing to have case-insensitive be a platform package I will rescind the proposal.
One thing I would regard as nice-to-have and worth mentioning while we have the review process here: a ChangeLog with (at least) the API changes to each version documented. When I'm creating a package and I want to set version bounds correctly, I often find that the lack of a nice, concise changelog makes this process a lot longer and more tedious than it need be. I don't think I'd regard this as essential or even particularly important, but it's something I'd like to see more widespread in Haskell packages.
