Re: Bikeshedding request for GHCi's :type

I think design A (deeply instantiate + generalize) produces the most sensible types. I don't know what the curly braces mean (perhaps that we can't use type application anymore since the order changed?) but I don't think they'd show up at all without -fprint-explicit-foralls, right? If so, I'm not

Let's fix it for the literal 2 :) Nobody worries about overflow of x * x when x and the result are both declared Ints On Tue, Apr 26, 2016 at 11:55 AM Joachim Breitner wrote: > Hi, > > Am Dienstag, den 26.04.2016, 10:33 -0400 schrieb David Feuer: > > Fixing this goes

Can we do something slightly nicer about (^)?

Every time someone writes, say, x^20, the literal exponent defaults to Integer. This is the wrong default whenever the literal is in the Word range. Fixing this goes beyond the capabilities of RULES pragmas, but I imagine it would be a fairly simple thing to accomplish in the internal rule

Bikeshedding request for GHCi's :type

Hi devs, Over the weekend, I was pondering the Haskell course I will be teaching next year and shuddered at having to teach Foldable at the same time as `length`. So I implemented feature request #10963 (https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10963), which allows for a way for a user to
