haskell98: Directory.getDirectoryContents

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

Prompted by a suggestion from Sigbjorn, I propose to clarify=20
the description of Directory.getDirectoryContents.   Current
description:

"Computation getDirectoryContents dir returns a list of all entries in
dir."

I propose to add:=20

"Each entry in the returned list is named relative to the directory dir,
not as an absolute path."

Any objections?

Simon

| Hi,

| GHC and Hugs (and I suspect the other two) do not prefix the=20
| directory, which I think is as it should be, but the report=20
