Couldn't an independent package could achieve this goal?
If the combinators were defined in Parsec they would be under the Parsec namespace rather than Control.* and Parsec having type specialized versions might produce better error messages.
Not just error messages, either - it's room for further optimisation possibilities any time a combinator might expand to an infinite grammar, for example. And Parsec already tells you at runtime when it has certain kinds of bad grammar that it can't spot statically. -- flippa@flippac.org
