FW: FW: cvs commit: fptools/libraries/base package.conf.in fptools/libraries/base/Data IntMap.hs IntSet.hs Map.hs FiniteMap.hs Set.hs

As I see it: we could change all the operations in Data.Set/Data.Map to be right-biased, but that's a fair bit of work and might introduce new bugs.
If someone wants to do this work, it needs to be done fairly quickly (i.e. in the next couple of weeks) because we plan to release GHC 6.4 with the new code, and we won't be able to make further library changes until 6.6. Any volunteers?
Cheers, Simon
Hi, If everyone agrees on what's to be done, I volunteer for doing it. Alain

I'm not sure if we should really do this, I was just trying to find out the reason for this bias change. Perhaps adding a BIG comment in the new API is enough. Cheers, S.
