Understood, but there were actually two questions posed. You seem to have |
| 16 |
answered only the second. Maybe Mick's answer addresses the first. |

That's not an automatic tickler, only a log. Clearing tty1's init messages |
| 21 |
has never ever made sense to me. IOW, they get put there by default, so why |
| 22 |
not leave them there by default? If upstream's responsible for the default |
| 23 |
clearing, why did it so choose? |

| 28 |
function already part of the base, and the haskell one something more or |
| 29 |
different from built in? |
