Hi Bulat,

Thanks for the suggestions!

I'll probably look into this as part of the move to buildbot. In the
meantime, the most recent docs should be available at
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/current/docs/

We don't have this, do we? All the library docs are combined in
libraries/index.html.

Do you mean the double "argument"? If so, then no:

In
    lazy f
f is "its argument", and f is lazy in f's "first argument". This is a
pain to explain clearly and concisely. Is this better?:

    GHC.Exts now provides a magic function /lazy/ such that GHC is
    forced to think that /lazy f/ is lazy in its first argument.

Or am I misunderstanding your point completely?


Thanks
