Re: [ghc-steering-committee] Please review #292: ByteArray Literals, Shepherd: Vitaly

I think it's borderline. I think the user-facing behavior could be put together without a proposal, but it would not be performant enough. So the part that might need a proposal is any change to core. Yet the proposal does not really make that point clear. I've posted on the GitHub thread. Richard

This proposal boils down to adding several quasiquoters, available with the QuasiQuotes GHC extension. I don't think that this is in the scope of our Committee. I think that we should make this proposal dormant in case it turns out somehow different. At least now we have nothing to discuss, I believe.

========= ByteArray Literals has been proposed by Andrew Martin (based on a proposal by Oleg Grenus) https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/292 https://github.com/andrewthad/ghc-proposals/blob/bytearray-literals/proposal... =========

if that’s the case, then yes, we could mark it as “non-proposal” and invite the authors to take this onto the GHC bug tracker.

Could someone with more expertise on Template Haskell etc. have a brief look and discern if this is proposal material or not?

Cheers, Joachim
