That is no doubt because _E is counted as a lowercase identifier by every other Haskell compiler. The use of _E is historical, that was what it was called in nhc98, and I never got round to changing the name. If someone wants to go through the libraries and rename it that would be fine :) Cheers Tom Neil Mitchell wrote:
Hi
One observation about _E: Haddock does not like it.
And having just checked, neither does GHC. Perhaps we shouldn't be using _E but something else - the definition:
data Box a = Box a
or
data Tup1 a = Tup1 a
both look good, and have some slightly obvious meaning. Tom - any reason not to prefer one of these?
Thanks
