Re: [Sml-implementers] SML Basis Library webpages

[Dave B. <da...@ta...>]

I'm impressed at the feedback Andreas and Matthew gave.  I have a few
comments (which are purely personal opinion)...

Organisation: Matthew requested sorting the entries by area.  The overview
page briefly dicusses the various areas -- perhaps the online version of
this page could be extended with a complete list of hyperlinks (as
continuous text, not one per line)?

I like Andreas's suggestion of a Net.* structure. 

Andreas requested "eq" functions for every type.  In most cases I believe
we prefer a "compare" function, as it is can be more efficient (e.g. when
implementing trees of strings).

I don't like the name "subsubstring" that Andreas suggested, as it seems
clumsy.  I can see that there is some confusion between (slice,subslice)
and (substring,slice), but perhaps it would be better to rename
Substring.slice to Substring.subslice?

Dave.
