I'm trying to do one of my christmas holiday tasks, which is to make ML spit out images of Mandelbrot sets. Technically I've already completed the task, but it looked ugly, so I decided AntiAliasing was necessary. I've now written a function to average together pixels, and it won't compile, and the Incredibly Useful Error Message is pointing at a working bit instead of the broken bit, just as it always does.

Of course, it works if I remove the bit that tells it explicitly that the input to the colour averaging function is a colour list and let it work out it's a colour list on its own, but not otherwise. It's such a stupid language sometimes, and it's a shame we have to use it.
