[Haskell-cafe] Refactoring status

[C.M.Brown]

I believe type signatures are the very essence of Haskell documentation!
I'd much rather see a program with type signatures for functions and
little (or no) comments over programs with no type signatures and
ambigious comments (if any comments at all!).

Type signatures really does make dealing with someone elses code that
much easier.

Regards,
Chris.
