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.
Any proposals for deadlines? Mark? -- Gregory Collins
I just realized one complication: case-insensitive depends on hashable which is not in the HP. I think hashable should also be proposed for the HP: * Solves a general need. * 66 direct reverse dependencies on Hackage: http://packdeps.haskellers.com/reverse/hashable * Used by unordered-containers which IIRC is going to be merged with containers (which is in the HP) in some point in the future. * Simple and short API. * Very well documented. * Optimized for speed. * Has benchmarks. * Has a test-suite. The only function which could be controversial is: hash :: Hashable a => a -> Int since that function could give different results on different application runs when the environment variable HASHABLE_SALT is set to "random". However since this behavior is configurable and not the default I don't think it's an issue. Bas
