I recently released Uniplate: http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~ndm/uniplate/
I'd love to add Uniplate to the benchmark suite, but couldn't quite
figure out where to start adding the library. I also can only see one
function in the benchmark which does any vanilla traversal stuff,
namely increase from Paradise. If that's all that Uniplate can be
tested on, you may prefer not to have it included. My draft paper
(linked to from the website) gives 9 benchmarks for generic
traversals, you are welcome to incorporate them.
Thanks
Neil
