Dear Committee,

this is your secretary speaking:

As patterns in pattern synonyms, by Richard. https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/94 rendered at https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/as-pattern-synonyms/AsPa...

I’ll shepherd that myself.

This proposal removes restrictions on what can be used in unidirectional pattern synonyms, where @-pattern were previously disallowed. The restriction would make sense if patterns synonyms are macros, but they are not. I am always in favor of removing special cases and restrictions, so I recommend to accept this proposal.

Thanks, Joachim -- Joachim Breitner mail@joachim-breitner.de http://www.joachim-breitner.de/
