Hello, when writing simple String parsers, I find implementing this function over and over: readEither :: Read a => String -> Either String a I just found out that it is already defined in the module "Text.Read" in the "base" package but, sadly, it is not exported. Would there be any objections if: 1. I was to export it 2. I was to add another convenience function "readMaybe :: Read a => String -> Myabe a" defined in terms of "readEither". I can't think of any problems that this might cause and it would be very helpful to me and my colleagues. Discussion period: 2 weeks, so until 22 December 2011. -Iavor
