[Haskell-cafe] Lisp like symbols in haskell

[Stephen Tetley]

Hi Jean-Christophe

There is no mention in the 'History of Haskell' which is probably the
most authoritative published reference

http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/simonpj/papers/history-of-haskell/index.htm

If someone wanted to introduce symbols, they would presumably have to
propose an extension to the type system to handle them - don't symbols
in Lisp and Scheme rely on lists being dynamically typed?

Best wishes

Stephen
