I import only the functions I need from libraries that I don't own myself to minimize that effect.
i think that the better way will be to put all these functions into extralibs bundled with ghc. this will allow me to control which concrete version of lib i import and therefore which set of functions i've used. i don't like idea of editing my module imports each time i use new functions
That said, feature creep is definitely a problem. I think the GHC team will be the first to agree. But this particular function really is a natural.
yes. `forever` function was also so natural that my program becomes incompatible with ghc 6.8. it's really annoying! -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
