great!


The best way to have your patch added is to either

    a) if its a non-core library like Xlib, send to the maintainer.
    you can do this with darcs send -o /tmp/my.patch
      
    And then attach  and mail that patch to the library maintainer.
    (should be listed in the .cabal file)


    b) if its for a core library, like 'base' , you follow the
    library submission process,
            http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/How_to_write_a_Haskell_program
    which also has some useful advice that applies to case a).

In this case you should follow part a).

Cheers,
