Re: [ghc-steering-committee] Please review #678: Amendment to ImportShadowing

I find it a little annoying that this isn't backward compatible. But on the other hand, it's a very obscure bit of Haskell semantics which is modified, module re-export is something that most people frequently get wrong anyway. At any rate, my feeling is that the proposed change is the right behaviour: if a module defines a function `foo`, and exports a *different* function `foo`, this is at least a smell, isn't it? So, in favour. On Fri, 18 Oct 2024 at 17:43, Jakob Brünker wrote:

Seems like a reasonable amendment, I'm in support.

I support, subject to a couple of typos I have identified.

Dear Committee,

Gergő Érdi proposes to amend his import shadowing proposal #652 to clarify the behaviour of module re-exports:

https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/678

I'd like to nominate Erik de Castro Lopo as the shepherd, as he shepherded the original proposal.

Please guide us to a conclusion as outlined in https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals#committee-process

Cheers,

Adam
