[m-users.] C include dir

[Sean Charles (emacstheviking)]

Sometimes Haskell dies in a sea of camel cased nonsense, at least for me. Some Haskell code is so tight with monads and $, >>=, arrows, that it looks like somebody stuck a kilo of C4 into a PDF file.

As much as Mercury feels long winded and verbose, it’s imminently readable and utterly clear in what it says it thinks you are telling it you want it to do, and it catches your foul ups and if Haskell had ‘-E’ it would be a better world.

Long live hackery!
