[ghc-steering-committee] As patterns in pattern synonyms (#94), Recommendation: accept

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/
