Please don't throw away YHC I think it's important to have various implementations of Haskell around. We don't want the language to become stale.

I'm not suggesting throwing away Yhc, I'm simply suggesting a change of front end. Currently Yhc uses the nhc98 front end, but this is proving to be rather unsatisfactory so I suggest moving to using GHC as the front end.

This summer I was hoping to implement a new type checker for Yhc under SoC. Do you think this would be a bad idea?
