   * monochrom: "do, or undo. there is no redo." :)

   * danharaj: arrows are just strong monads in the 2-category of
     profunctors. what's the problem?

   * BMeph: If only they knew the POWER...of the darcs-IDE!

   * geekosaur: "tekmo and the pipes list" sounds like some kind of
     postmodernist band
