Simon, One of my students (Michał, CCd) is hacking on #10982 and he noticed a rather unexpected behaviour. If I say: {-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies #-} module T10982 where type family F a where F _t = Int Then everything is fine. But if I enable NamedWildCards extension then suddenly this code is rejected: T10982.hs:7:7: error: Unexpected wild card: ‘_t’ In the declaration for type synonym ‘F’ I am 99% sure this is a bug and the program should be accepted even with NamedWildCards. Am I correct? Does this interact in any way with your upcomming refactoring of wildcards?
