All true! Good suggestions. Are you getting on all right with TH now. The mailing list has been rather quiet recently.

It refers to Tim Sheard's notes, | but doesn't have the link | | http://research.microsoft.com/~simonpj/tmp/notes2.ps | | It should also warn that not all of the features discussed in the above | notes are implemented. | In particular, the way to get TH is still to import | Language.Haskell.THSyntax, not Language.Haskell.TH. | | The example doesn't compile under 6.2. The attachment corrects this. | | A note that TH is rapidly evolving and that the API is likely to change | incompatibly between | compiler releases might not be out of place either. (I know that such | warnings are present | in the literature and in some places on the mailing list, but language | users who are not | part of the FP community look to the documentation first.) | | Best Wishes, | | Greg | | Gregory Wright | Antiope Associate LLC | 18 Clay Street | Fair Haven, New Jersey 07704 | | gwright@antiope.com |
