Hi,

In response to the discussion on graph algorithms, someone (I forget
who) posted two messages on "reverse diff" arrays, one of the messages
including ML source code which I assume implemented these arrays using
references.

Could the poster please re-send me the article containing the source
code, and any associated references?

Would anyone else care to comment on why such a simple technique (at
least in hindsight) appears to have received so little attention?  Why
bother with compile-time analysis to detect "single-threadedness" when
a simple run-time organisation for arrays will suffice?
