A) No I haven't, so judge the following comments with this in mind
B) One of the reasons I don't like Okasaki's $ notation is that it
represents both suspending the computation and forcing the computation. I
often times have trouble figuring out which meaning is meant with any
given use. Which I'm wondering might not be your problem- if I have a
hard time figuring it out, how hard is it going to be for the computer to
figure it out?
