Re: magicDict

How about 'reifyDict'? The reflection library uses 'reify' to create a dictionary and 'reflect' to extract a value out of it. https://hackage.haskell.org/package/reflection-2.1.6/docs/Data-Reflection.ht... On Thu, Apr 22, 2021 at 3:27 PM Spiwack, Arnaud wrote:

Ed, and other ghc-devs

We are busy tidying up magicDict, and making it much more type-safe: see

https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/16646 https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/5573

As part of that change we’re think of changing its currently-rather-obscure name. I rather favour “reflectDict”. Any other views?
