Re: some ideas for Haskell', from Python



Having an import/module feature like this would replace almost all cases where someone might wish for a macro system for Haskell.


Don't say that until you've tried Lisp macros... read some of Paul Graham's essays or try some Common Lisp for yourself... macros can be an incredibly powerful tool, but "macros" from C, etc. aren't really macros, they're more like find-and-replace expressions :)
