I like to see MTL split into a Haskell98 part and an advanced part. I mostly use functionality which would nicely fit into a Haskell98 interface and find it annoying that by importing MTL my code becomes less portable.
Yes! Please!
You mean something like http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/mtl-split ? The plan is to split Control.Monad.Identity, Control.Monad.Trans and Control.Monad.Trans.* off into a separate portable, low-level package. This demonstrates what I believe to be the only universally true statement about software engineering: If you have a great idea, someone else has already thought of it and has probably done something with it. :) Seth Kurtzberg Software Engineer Specializing in Security, Reliability, and the Hardware/Software Interface _______________________________________________ Libraries mailing list Libraries@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/libraries
