[darcs-devel] [patch1335] resolve issue 1721

[Ganesh Sittampalam]

New submission from Ganesh Sittampalam <ganesh at earth.li>:

Thanks a lot for your patches!

Would it be possible to resubmit them as native Darcs patches? You can do this with the 'darcs 
send' command.

I haven't been through them in detail yet but I noticed one thing in this patch:

>      toobig :: Int -> [a] -> Bool
> -    toobig 0 _ = True
> -    toobig _ [] = False
> -    toobig n (_ : xs) = toobig (n - 1) xs
> +    toobig s v = ((length v) > s)

I think the existing code is the way it is for laziness: as soon as it sees that the list is 
longer than 'n' elements, it stops evaluating it further. With the change, the whole list would 
first have to be evaluated before we knew if it was too big or not.
