Why does `haskell-interactive-bring' call `delete-other-windows'?

[the-kenny]

I find it rather annoying that running haskell-interactive-bring deletes all my windows (via delete-other-windows when starting a new session. Why doesn't it just use switch-to-buffer or similar?

(If there's a sense in the current behavior, please make it at least customizable)

[gracjan]

I do not think current behavior is the final form of what haskell-interactive-bring was supposed to be doing.

@the-kenny: if you could hack haskell-interactive-bring the way you would like it to be and submit a pull request we'd love to review it and improve the functionality for everybody.

Yeah, very unpleasant stuff! @the-kenny can you try to fix this?

[the-kenny]

I'm not sure when I'll find time but it's on my todo-list now. Likely some time next week.

[geraldus]

it's on my todo-list

Cool! Let's wait for you then.

[the-kenny]

Please check the PR above. It's a simple fix, and we might want to make the function used configurable so users can stick to the old behavior if they want to.

[gracjan]

Configurability is a costly mechanism so we should try to avoid complexity as much as we can.

Pull request looks good to me. Lets wait a little so that other people get a chance to test it before merging.

@gracjan I'm not certain, but will try to find a time and test this stuff this evening.
