Re: [ghc-steering-committee] Proposal #302: `\of`

If it was re-cast as \mcase, which is just like \case but allows n-ary functions, I’d find it quite acceptable. The two then become extremely close, so there’s a very low cognitive load.

GHC’s internals already allow this, and it seems surprisingly non-orthogonal that the source language does not.

We could kill off MultiWayIf.

But I don’t feel strongly. If a consensus does not emerge, maybe we should just vote.

Cale, as the shepherd, could you lead us here to a resolution? I see many voices in favor of rejection, but not really consensus yet. Cheers, Joachim -- Joachim Breitner mail@joachim-breitner.de http://www.joachim-breitner.de/
