What I was asking was whether we imagined that `-XPatternSignatures` without the ability to bind would be in a future `GHC20xx`, but we don't think that `-XPatternSignature` with the ability to bind ought to. (and I was musing that the ability to bind would be replaced by `-XTypeAbstractions`).On Fri, 26 Jan 2024 at 16:43, Richard Eisenberg <reisenberg@janestreet.com> wrote:I'm not sure I understand Arnaud's question here: this proposal removes the binding capability from -XPatternSignatures. I don't think there's an interaction with -XTypeAbstractions.On Fri, Jan 26, 2024 at 3:04 AM Arnaud Spiwack <arnaud.spiwack@tweag.io> wrote:Do we envision, maybe, a future with `-XPatternSignature`, in a version that is incapable of binding and `-XTypeAbstractions`? If so, the split sounds like a reasonable move. Otherwise, the benefit of the split sounds rather slim, and it would need to be weighed against the costs and benefits on the implementation.On Thu, 25 Jan 2024 at 07:07, Moritz Angermann <moritz.angermann@gmail.com> wrote:As this is guarded behind a language extension and as such should not impact any existing code.
