Re: [ghc-steering-committee] #477: Unicode ellipsis, recommendation: accept

I support this, though I note that it is just barely possible that this proposal will break code in the wild. Packages control-dotdotdot and ghc-justdoit both define a (…) operator. I don't easily see whether they enable -XUnicodeSyntax, though. Still: +1 Richard

Dear Committee,

Proposal #277 “Unicode ellipsis” has been submitted by Ignat Insarov, and I’m shepherding it myself.

https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/477

https://github.com/kindaro/ghc-proposals/blob/unicode-ellipsis/proposals/477...

This is a very small proposal that lets GHC understand the nice Unicode syntax `…` in places where in ASCII world we have .., under -XUnicodeSyntax.

I am fond of Unicode in general, and I expect that users of - XUnicodeSyntax expect this to work, and therefore recommend acceptance of this proposal.

Cheers, Joachim
