| Following a brief off-list exchange, Simon Marlow suggested I post some | notes here concerning Time.diffClockTimes and Time.TimeDiff. These arise | from my thought that the current behaviour of the GHC library in | (sometimes) returning a value with positive seconds and negative | picoseconds values might be viewed as perverse. I'm trying to go beyond a | "what is technically correct" viewpoint to "what is useful"... | | I understand there's some history here, of which I'm not properly aware, so | if this is merely rehashing old ground, please ignore. The H98 Time module is probably broken in many ways. Rather than try to fix it incrementally, I think it'd be most productive if the interested parties simply got together and agreed an interface for a new Time module, even if it's incompatible with the old one. Perhaps Graham is The Man! Simon
