Hi Joachim. Excerpts from Joachim Breitner's message of Seg Ago 02 16:45:27 -0300 2010: (...) > Couldn’t Cabal directly provides support for this? It automatically detects > files like ".y".

This will surely make it harder for the user to deal with these data files, like editing them, for instance. This can be a use case for some packages, even if not for this one. Will it be possible to use the same file on another program not written in Haskell? If it is, is it as easy as reading a data file? Greetings. (...) -- marcot http://wiki.debian.org/MarcoSilva
