7.8.3 is a bug fix release, is this a bug fix? :-) On Tuesday, July 8, 2014, Dr. ERDI Gergo wrote:

Hi,

I've spent the last couple evenings implementing explicitly-bidirectional pattern synonyms, partly while waiting for someone to help out with #9023. Explicitly-bidirectional pattern synonyms are described in #8581.

My question is: now that I have this mostly working, is this something that could be added to 7.8.3, or is this too much of a new feature for a point release? I'd like to know because then I can prioritize finishing the work (it still needs some tests added and also someone to review the changes).

Thanks, Gergo _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs

Please note I've uploaded an implementation of that to wip/pattern-synonyms, and it's ready for merging into master after someone (maybe SPJ after he comes back?) reviews it.
