However, people might forget to implement it thus cause run time error. Wish GHC will show some warning/errors at compilation.

It would appear that a ''skolem'' type variable passes out of the type- checker and is used as the binder for polymorphic kind of `Poly`. Should this get zonked somewhere? My guess is that there is no way to get this apparent misbehavior to trigger some real failure, given that the variable will be substituted away before much else happens. Yet, when I saw a skolem appear in a similar position after modifying the type-checker, I was sure I had done something wrong somewhere. So, is this intended or accidental behavior? If accidental, should we be scared? If we needn't be scared, I'm happy to close this as wontfix, but a Note would probably be helpful somewhere. Apologies if that Note is already written and I missed it! The same behavior is present in 7.8.1 RC 2 and in HEAD. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8907> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

I've also gotten the same error linking gnuidn, instead of gnutls, with gnuidn from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libidn/libidn-1.28-win32.zip This makes me think this may be a general ghci on windows bug, rather than a misbuilt library. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8830> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
