I think it&#39;s more of a readability thing, than replacing symbols for fun. <br><br>--<br>Markus Läll<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 30, 2011 at 4:56 PM, Christian Maeder <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:Christian.Maeder@dfki.de">Christian.Maeder@dfki.de</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
The UnicodeSyntax extension was already supported by GHC 6.8.1. I just<br>
released a new version of base-unicode-symbols (0.2.1.2) which also<br>
works with base-3.0. This means you can now build the package with GHC<br>
6.8.1 and with every newer release.<br>
<br>
The base-unicode-symbols package itself is usually an internal<br>
dependency. It is not part of the interface of any of its reverse<br>
dependencies. Because it is a tiny package the build times are<br>
insignificant. On my system a &quot;cabal install base-unicode-symbols&quot;<br>
takes 2 seconds and takes up 300KB of disk space.<br>
<br>
To conclude: Whether some package X depends on base-unicode-symbols or<br>
not doesn&#39;t matter from the perspective of the users of said package<br>
X.<br>

Still such toy stuff does not belong into production code and is possibly just a stupid burden for other tools processing haskell source code.<br>

I&#39;m sort of shocked by the many dependencies (already via http-types) on<br>
blaze-builder, text, case-insensitive and (really unnecessarily) on<br>
base-unicode-symbols.<br>

As far as I am aware, base-unicode-symbols only works on GHC 6.12 and<br>
above. For Hoogle, which uses WAI, I deliberately try and work on GHC<br>
version 6.10 as well - GHC 7 is only very just out, and a version<br>
which is basically functional for most users has only been released in<br>
the last week - making 6.10 effectively the release before last.<br>
Excluding 6.10 for good reasons is fine, excluding it for a fairly<br>
unnecessary dependency makes me sad.<br>
<br>
Thanks, Neil<br>
