Summary
ReadArgs provides the @readArgs@ IO action, which lets you tell the compiler to parse the command line arguments to fit the type signature you give. For example @(a :: Int, b :: String, c :: Float) <- readArgs@ would parse the first runtime argument as an @Int@, the second as a @String@ (no quotes required) and the third as a @Float@. If the runtime arguments are incompatible with the type signature, then a simple usage statement is given of the types needed. Continuing the previous example, if it was used in a program named @Example@, the error message for the above action would be: @ usage: Example Int String Float @ Any type that has both @Typeable@ and @Read@ instances can be used. @Char@, @String@, and @Text@ are handled specially so that command line arguments for both do not require quotes (as their @Read@ instances do). A special instance is provided for @FilePath@ so that no constructor or quotes are required. @readArgs@ also supports optional arguments and variadic arguments. Optional arguments are specified using @Maybe@, and variadic arguments using a list. @(a :: Int, b :: Maybe String, c :: [Float]) <- readArgs@ would successfully parse any of the following sets of command line arguments: @ Example 1 Example 1 2 3 4 Example 1 foo Example 1 foo 2 3 4 @ But not @ Example Example foo Example 1.0 @ Usage statements for optional and variadic arguments use command-line parlance: @ usage: Example Int [String] [Float..] @ Note that both optional and variadic parsers are greedy by default (so @Example 1 2 3 4@ was parsed as @(1, "2", [3.0,4.0])@. They may both be made non-greedy through use of the @NonGreedy@ constructor: @ ( a :: Int , NonGreedy b :: NonGreedy Maybe String , NonGreedy c :: NonGreedy [] Float ) <- readArgs @

General
- doc
- Add extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc). It is recommended to enable per package instead of globally
- hscolour
- Include coloured haskell sources to generated documentation (dev-haskell/hscolour)
- profile
- Add support for software performance analysis (will likely vary from ebuild to ebuild)
- test
- Enable dependencies and/or preparations necessary to run tests (usually controlled by FEATURES=test but can be toggled independently)

proj/gentoo: Initial commit
This commit represents a new era for Gentoo: Storing the gentoo-x86 tree in Git, as converted from CVS. This commit is the start of the NEW history. Any historical data is intended to be grafted onto this point. Creation process: 1. Take final CVS checkout snapshot 2. Remove ALL ChangeLog* files 3. Transform all Manifests to thin 4. Remove empty Manifests 5. Convert all stale $Header$/$Id$ CVS keywords to non-expanded Git $Id$ 5.1. Do not touch files with -kb/-ko keyword flags. Signed-off-by: Robin H.
