I understood from your previous remarks that you regarded this as a
non-problem even in C. There's no justification for using them, at
least if you have clean slate priveleges (no legacy issues).

That kind of implies to me that we (or at least you) already have the
right solution. What is it and why can't we use it right now in Haskell?
(Again assuming we have clean slate and no legacy issues). Or can we..

Are you looking? I can't even figure out from your posts if you're even
prepared to admit that there *is* a problem, other than there being so
many people in the world who can't write proper code, in Haskell or C
:-)
