[Haskell-cafe] Re: [Haskell] ANN: persistent-map-0.0.0

[Alberto G. Corona]

Interesting. It seems similar to TCache. However the design is
different. persistent-map store different finite maps whenever any of
them are  modified transactionally, while TCache handles a single
hashTable of object of type "a" and from time to time store all the
transactionally modified objects and rearange the hashTable size.
