[Haskell-cafe] Perfect shuffle on std. libs

[Felipe Almeida Lessa]

Hello! =)

I wonder why Oleg's perfect shuffle[1] isn't on any standard library?
Is there a reason or is it just a lack of patches?

I'd personally like to have at least the function

> shuffle :: RandomGen g => g -> [a] -> [a]
> shuffle gen list =
>     let len = length list
>         ran = [r `mod` k | (k,r) <- zip [len,len-1..2] randoms gen]
>     in shuffle1 cartas rs'

where shuffle1 is Oleg's perfect shuffle and length is the
beSureYouReallyWantIntBeforeUsingThisLength ;).

Cheers,
