FC>I mean an indentation convention FC>for lexical scoping. For example, instead of Hmm. Actually the Haskell indention conventions are the one thing that always drives me crazy when I look at Haskell sources. No, I would prefer to stay with the more standard way of writing source, as O'Caml does. Actually my indention scheme is sometimes different from that implied by Haskell. Ok, as I see it there is a possibility in Haskell to have explicit scoping by using { } and such things (at least it's available in Gofer and Hugs). But I wouldn't say that there aren't any features in Haskell I would like to have in O'Caml, too. Typeclasses for example would be nice - but it wouldn't be trivial to redesign the whole type-system, so I have to stay with the available tools. bye, Georg
