[Haskell-cafe] An APL library for Haskell

[Austin Seipp]

The message was held by Mailman, because it thought you had too many
recipients in the message. Gershom noticed this while we were doing
some maintenance, and released it. We also bumped the recipient limit
to 20 people, so this shouldn't be a problem again.
