Hi
so, i propose to include your lib in the core (or base) library set, bundle it with ghc and hugs, and host it on darcs.haskell.org like other ghc-bundled libs
Ok, perhaps I can rephrase my position (in light of your currently ongoing discussion): "I propose that this module is added to the set of modules which is guaranteed to be available in every Haskell implementation, and can be used by programs with a simple import statement." Currently that means "is in base". If you can convince the GHC and Hugs people that for their next releases they will guarantee to bundle a set of libraries and treat them as though they were in base, then my proposal is asking to be included in that set. (The Yhc position on this is that its a really good idea, and we'll definitely do that!) As a side note, I think that the process for getting a library into this set of guaranteed libraries should be exactly the same as the current process for getting a library into base. If these core libraries have the same status as base currently does, then they need the same level of scrutiny. Thanks Neil
