Quoting Simon Peyton-Jones <simo...@microsoft.com>:
for example. Singleton unboxed tuples are a perfectly valid data type; it's just that we don't (now) have a name for their constructor.
Well, Haskell *does* have a mechanism for giving two different implementations to a particular name...
class UnboxedUnit a where (# #) :: a instance UnboxedUnit (##) instance UnboxedUnit (a -> (# a #)) That only leaves solving the equivalent problem for the type-level name (# #). ~d _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
