hello, i was wondering what people think about the following two issues with the monad library: 1. there are the map* functions for different transformers (mapReader, mapWriter, etc.). does anyone use them for anything? while there is something common between them, i am not quite sure exactly what it is. if anyone is using them i would be interested if the same can be achieved by just using the "standard" functionality for the appropriate transformer. i am inclined to remove them from the library, if there are no objections. 2. currently the monad library is under Unstable.Control.Monad, and i would like to move it to some other place, so that we can use it, without the need to later rename everything. the core of it should be more or less stable. since moving libraries at the moment is quite work intensive, it would be nice if we agreed on where to put it, so that we don't have to move it again. i propose that we put all the monads under Monad, thus one would import Monad.State, Monad.ReaderT, or Monad.Transformers. in this way the old monad library can stay under Control.Monad and programs that are using it need not change. at some point in the future we can decide to remove the old library or it can just stay there. and i like the shorter names (not to mention that it is not clear what some of the monads have to do with control). any comments? iavor -- ================================================== | Iavor S.
