If anyone cares; this is what I use:
function domain { look -f "$1" /usr/share/zoneinfo/iso3166.tab|cut -f2; }
function countrycode { grep "$1" /usr/share/zone

Polymorphism is not a pillar of structured programming languages. The
major structured programming languages - the Algols, Pascal, C,

Agreed. Too bad C++ does not support parametric polymorphism too well.
Templates come close, so t

The same way you pass fortran to C: use wrappers, for example. Here is
one way of passing a static C++ method to a C function (e.g.

Is it? AFAICS none of the traditional languages like Pascal or C has
polimorphism at its base...

I'm closing this discussion for now. I know what I have in mind, and why C++
is better in this scenario than C. But I don't want to incite any more
flamage; once again I say that I won't be forcing anyone to use this thing.
It's only a personal project, and if anyone wants to use it after I'm

As a practical matter, I don't think any countries restrict
importation of software that might be in Debian, unless they also
restrict its use. The only such circumstances I can think of have
to do with pornography; in the UK, for example, customs will seize

Hello, all,
I'm happy to express my wish to package GHC. I'm just doing it now
and will soon send my application to become a Debian maintainer.
I've contact GHC developer for licence issue again and now got answers
from them (see below). Exact one will be later posted in haskell
mailing list.
