What I also got from this discussion was learning why sometimes a `where foo = 1000` works at different number types, and sometimes not. It depends on whether I am using GADTs or TypeFamilies somewhere in the file! Who’d have thought…

Actually `where foo = 1000` wouldn't be affected by `MonoLocalBinds` (but would be by the `MonomorphsimRestriction`, fun right :-) ). `MonoLocalBinds` only affects local bindings that depend on something from a pattern (i.e., declaration that you can't just move to the top level because they depend on something locally bound)

Indeed! I confess ignorance… -- Joachim Breitner mail@joachim-breitner.de http://www.joachim-breitner.de/
