Hi
As a compromise, we can leave the current FilePath as it is until things are settled, but I would really like to have a big, fat warning in the documentation then...
What would the warning say? "Haskell currently does not work when reading files or accessing command line arguments on Unix. Until such time as this is fixed please avoid opening files, or allowing the user to pass command line flags. The workaround is to either use Windows or Perl." :-) Do you have a concrete proposal for what FilePath's should look like in Haskell'? "FilePath = String" is currently the least broken design, since no one has put forward a better one. Thanks Neil
