[Haskell-cafe] [ANN] compact-sequences-0.2.0.0

[☂Josh Chia (謝任中)]

Could you elaborate on what the package does? The description is "Stacks,
queues, and deques that take n + O(log n) space at the cost of having
amortized O(log n) time complexity for basic operations." But why is it a
'cost' to have O(log n) instead of O(n) cost for basic operations on
list-like structures (such as insert and delete presumably)? So, I didn't
understand what the package is for.

Do you mean "take amortized O(log n) time for basic operations at the cost
of n + O(log n) space"? Or is it something else I didn't imagine?
