I see your point. Though, I wouldn't be averse it it printing fixity for everything. From my point of view, when I do :info on something, I want as much information as possible.
...speaking of which :), would you consider printing the entire datatype when :info is done on a constructor? For instance ':info Nothing' currently just prints: -- Nothing is a data constructor Nothing :: forall a. Maybe a but this really isn't any more information than I get out of ':t Nothing'. It might be nice if it also printed the results of ':info Maybe', so I could see the other constructors. I've run into this many times, most recently when using hSeek, I had code that used hSeek with AbsoluteSeek, and I wanted SeekFromEnd...in order to find this out, I had to either look in the docs (slow), or do two :infos, first on AbsoluteSeek and then on SeekMode... I'm sure opinions differ on this, though... -- Hal Daume III "Computer science is no more about computers | [EMAIL PROTECTED] than astronomy is about telescopes." -Dijkstra | www.isi.edu/~hdaume On Tue, 3 Dec 2002, Simon Marlow wrote: > > Ah...but if the fixity is not explicitly specified (and thus > > defaults to > > infixl 9), this isn't printed, which is what was catching > > me...it seems it > > should be (or perhaps say "infixl 9 (default)")? > > But every variable has a fixity, including normal identifiers... should > we report the default fixity for those too? > > Cheers, > Simon > _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
