[Haskell-cafe] Re: Looking for practical examples of Zippers

[GüŸnther Schmidt]

David, guys,

sorry, this all started with a misconception on my behalf of what a 
Zipper is and what it is good for.

In the days that followed my post this became much clearer though and I 
now realize my original question was pointless.

It seems you spotted that and yes, "generalized trie" is probably more 
what I'm looking for, thanks!

Günther
