[PD] proof-of-concept [hsext] for writing pd externals in Haskell

[Charles Henry]

Maybe I'm missing the point here, but isn't Haskell a compiled (not
interpreted) language?  We can add any compiled function, wrapped in a
C-written external, just so long as we have the symbols for the
function from the binary.
*OR* we can write an external in some funky language, so long as we
can reference the functions from m_pd.h correctly in that language.
I tried to put a Fortran function into an external, once compiled.
All I had to do was "grep" for the symbols exactly as they appeared in
the binary, and get the variables of the function declaration right.
Is this similar?  Have I missed the point entirely?
