Excerpts from Alan & Kim Zimmerman's message of 2014-09-29 13:38:45 -0700:
1. Is this change too big, should I scale it back to just update the HsSyn structures and then lock it down to Located SrcSpan for all the rest?
I don't claim to speak for the rest of the GHC developers, but I think this change is too big. I am almost tempted to say that we shouldn't add the type parameter at all, and do something else (maybe Backpack can let us extend SrcSpan in a modular way, or even use a dynamically typed map for annotations.)
