I note they were in (at least some DBS> versions of) Haskel 1.2, and they're even defined locally in GHC.PArr. DBS> I'll draft the patches if people think these are reasonable. i'm greatly support this. there is a plenty of trivial functions which are repeated in almost any program. there is a GenUtil module by John Meacham, NewPrelude at hawiki, Util directory in GHC compiler and many other places where these trivial functions are conceal itself so adding even part of this fucntions to std libs will be great. especially in the face of Haskell' where these functions can be standartized. i'm especially like to improve situation with string processing, even strstr() analog is absent in std libs! -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
