I'm strongly against this, for a multitude of reasons. There's already a mechanism for doing what you want -- type defaulting. See also https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8171 . On 12/5/2015 11:38 PM, David Feuer wrote:
The ambiguity check produces errors that are quite surprising to the uninitiated. When the check is suppressed, the errors at use sites are typically much easier to grasp. On the other hand, there's obviously a lot of value to catching mistakes as soon as possible. Would it be possible to turn that into a warning by default?
