I don't think that any other implementation has support for the 'par'
operator, but I could see a case for either haskell-cafe or ghc-users
being a good spot for discussion. The beginers list is targeted at
raw-recruits or students overcoming their first encounter with
Haskell.

I've never had any messages removed or moderated in any of the
@haskell.org lists, but maybe I'm not saying the right things :-)
