Actually, the code was documented in comments in the code, just not in haddock format. :-( Fortunately, some kind soul has gone through and converted the documentation to haddock format: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1410 So it'll all appear in the html docs in the next version. In the mean time one can look at the haddock comments in the source: http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/mtl/Control/Monad/ Duncan _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
