[Haskell-cafe] New version of itself

[martin]

Carl,

thanks for pointing me towards mealy machines.

Maybe you can help me with this one: I am trying to compose two mealy machines into one. Suppose I have

m1 :: Mealy a Bool
m2 :: Mealy a Bool

now I want a combinded mealy machine which outputs True when both m1 and m2 return True and False otherwise. I can write
this using runMealy. But this looks awkward, because it is a bare-bones implementation and doesn't make use of any of
the typeclasses Mealy is a member of. I.e. the machines package is basically not used at all.
