[Haskell-cafe] acid-state audit trail

[Jeremy Shaw]

Right now acid-state always tries to restore everything up through the
latest events.

The long term plan is to create an acid-state tool that would allow
you to rollback the event log, list and examine specific events, etc.

So, it is possible in theory, and not even that hard, but no one has
done the work yet.
