3) It seems GHCi does not support declaring pattern synonyms at the REPL. I'm not sure if it's intentional, but if it goes in like this, please be sure to document it in the release notes. We can file a ticket later for supporting pattern synonyms at the REPL.
In GHCi, it seems to fail in the parser. So I thought, well that makes sense, isn't the REPL in GHCi supposed to be something like the inside of a 'do' block? But I tried creating a datatype in GHCi and that worked.. so my point is, I am now aware that I am confused about GHCi's behaviour. Given the time constraints, for the initial release I unfortunately have to decide *not* to support the GHCi REPL. I'll put that in the docs when I write them. -- .--= ULLA! =-----------------. \ http://gergo.erdi.hu \ `---= gergo@erdi.hu =-------' I had my car's alignment checked. It's chaotic evil!
