Strictness standardization/description

[Henk-Jan van Tuyl]

L.S.,

Much has already been said about strictness, but what I haven't seen  
discussed sofar, and what am missing in the Haskell Report, is a  
description of the strictness of parameters of functions and operators. It  
is often important to know the strictness to prevent space leaks and even  
for the correctness of a program. A description of strictness in the  
Haskell' report would not only enable more reliable design of Haskell  
programs, but also prevent difference in strictness between the  
compilers/interpreters.
