Hello David
Apropos the (unfortunately) frosty exchanges that greeted the first
release of UHC a couple of months ago, which argued that UHC wasn't
Haskell because it didn't implement n+k patterns, one could argue (at
least for rhetorical effect) that Haskell plus unsafePerformIO isn't
Haskell, I don't think you'll be able to find unsafePerformIO in the
report...
Best wishes
Stephen
