Re: [ghc-steering-committee] Please consider GHC Proposal #581 for acceptance.

Unsurprisingly, I'm in support too. Most of the credit should really go to Artyom and Vlad, because this proposal is really a distilling of the extension changes from #270 after I caused trouble in getting that accepted as it stood. :-) Adam On 28/06/2023 08:18, Vladislav wrote:

The proposed change allows us to fix a bug in ExplicitNamespaces (GitLab ticket #22581) and on top of that offers a reasonable way to manage punned imports in DH code (i.e. it plays nicely with our accepted GHC Proposal #378).

Strong +1 from me.

Dear Steering Committee,

Adam, Artyom and Chris wrote the Namespace-specified imports proposal https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/581. It seeks to make importing more impressive, allowing import statements to choose from the type and data namespaces explicitly.

I believe this proposal adds value in expressiveness to import statements. After the last syntax refinement comes naturally to the language. I recommend acceptance of this proposal.

Best regards,  Moritz
