[hoc-users] NSDictionary <-> Data.Map?

[David C. <dw...@dw...>]

Hey all,

Is there a module which converts conveniently between NSDictionary  
and a Data.Map object?  I realize that there are some differences  
between the types of objects which can be stored in the two mappings,  
but perhaps there would be a:

mapFromDict :: NSDictionary a -> Map Id Id

or a specialized version in the case that the keys and values are a  
particular type (say NSStrings)

mapFromDictStrings :: NSDictionary () -> Map String String

This seems like it could be useful, if not necessarily general  
purpose, and it may be that the two systems are a bit too  
schizophrenic to allow such a mapping to take place, but it'd work  
for me!

Any thoughts on this idea?  If something like this doesn't exist, I'd  
be glad to release my solution when I find it.

Regards,

David Christensen
