[Haskell-cafe] Announce: EnumMap-0.0.1

[John Van Enk]

That's originally how I was thinking about doing it, but I think that
requires one to re-implement all the functions available in
Data.IntMap as simple wrappers that do the toEnum/fromEnum conversion.
I think making it into its own module is a little cleaner. The
conversion from EnumMap to IntMap is substantially cleaner than from
IntMap to EnumMap:

> type IntMap v = EnumMap Int v

/jve
