Readme for IOR-0.1

[back to package description]

To build the library type

    runhaskell Setup.lhs configure
    runhaskell Setup.lhs build
    runhaskell Setup.lhs haddock    # optional
    runhaskell Setup.lhs install

There are a few tests and examples in the src directory.

TODOs:
-----

It may be possible (and worthwhile) to write a more general region monad that
is not tied to IO. I've had a brief look into this but right now I can't find
a clean and consistent way to abstract mutable references for different
monads.

It would also be nice to provide all the functions found in System.IO ideally
in such a way so the functions can be used with either Strings, ByteStrings or
something else.
I can't think of a clean way to do this either. Any suggestions would be
welcome.
