Folks
Following a good deal of email I now propose to
DO NOTHING
to the rules defining do-notation in the Haskell 98 Report. =20
That means that GHC and Hugs, and nhc perhaps, should=20
change so that they actually implement the do-notation=20
translation rule
do {e ; stmts} =3D e >> do {stmts}
using (>>) and not (>>=3D).
From my reading of the email, some people will agree strongly,
and no one will disagree strongly. I suppose I could be wrong about
this, though.
