My message was mostly motivated about the discussion of new benchmarks
which seemed to be floating point math, often in the array variant.

I don't mind new floating point benchmarks, but it would be a pity
to have the shootout focus even more on it as many real programs contain
no floating point calculations in the critical parts. 

ps. I will try to get Haskell solutions for tcp* this week.
