Re: Integrating editline with ghc

I think it is more important to minimize confusion over users who are not aware of this whole discussion, and may have minimal knowledge of the package system. They don't want to have to figure things out - they just want it to keep working as before.

I think I am persuaded that this is the most important goal: stability of the API and package interface, for existing clients of readline. If individual projects would like to migrate from using readline to using editline, then those are the ones that should pay the small amount of pain (in using CPP, package configurations, etc) to manage the change. Anyone else should be totally unaffected. Regards, Malcolm
