There was a discussion period on this about 6 months ago. We're just now finally getting it all integrated. I'd rather not add new names for the same operations.

As a meta point, I fully sympathize that it can be annoying having old decisions questioned after the fact, but I think we should still re-consider them *iff* truly new information is brought forward. I don't know if that's the case here or not as I didn't follow the original discussion.

Of course, I wasn't trying to lay down the law. Just that it was a rather late amendment and to indicate that I was personally on the other side of the divide. The proposal spoke about mtl, the fact that it impacts transformers was more realized in hindsight. http://haskell.1045720.n5.nabble.com/Proposal-add-state-to-the-MonadState-cl... http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5714 At the time I'd said I'd get it in, I hadn't realized how much of it actually fell to Ross as the maintainer of transformers. -Edward
