For example, consider the following code: {{{#!hs {-# LANGUAGE DataKinds, KindSignatures, StandaloneDeriving, TypeOperators #-} module Main where import GHC.TypeLits data Foo (n :: Nat) = Foo deriving instance KnownNat n => Show (Foo n) fooSucc :: Foo n -> Foo (n + 1) fooSucc Foo = Foo foos :: Foo n -> [Foo (n + 1)] foos f = loop 5 where loop 0 = [] loop n = fooSucc f : loop (n - 1) main :: IO () main = print $ foos (Foo :: Foo 5) }}} Loading it with GHCi Debugger, we cannot `show` the value of `f`, because GHCi debugger doesn't know the specific value of `n` (in`Foo n`), even though we specify it in `main`! {{{#!hs ghci> :l tmp.hs [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( tmp.hs, interpreted ) Ok, modules loaded: Main. ghci> :break foos Breakpoint 0 activated at tmp.hs:13:10-15 ghci> :set stop :list ghci> main Stopped in Main.foos, tmp.hs:13:10-15 _result :: [Foo (n + 1)] = _ loop :: (Num t, Eq t) => t -> [Foo (n + 1)] = _ 12 foos :: Foo n -> [Foo (n + 1)] 13 foos f = loop 5 14 where ghci> :step Stopped in Main.foos.loop, tmp.hs:16:14-37 _result :: [Foo (n + 1)] = _ f :: Foo n = _ n :: Integer = 5 15 loop 0 = [] 16 loop n = fooSucc f : loop (n - 1) 17 ghci> :t f f :: Foo n ghci> f <interactive>:8:1: error: • No instance for (KnownNat n) arising from a use of ‘print’ • In a stmt of an interactive GHCi command: print it }}} Of course, we can inspect the internal representation via `:print` or `:force` command, but it is rather impractical when we cannot easily read its pretty form from its internal representation .

Because the coercion is common code, this also means that if hypothetically some other sum type which had 15 constructors, and only 3 had subtle type changes, 12 of the case branches could be CSE'd into the single coerce greatly reducing code generated and also hinting the inliner better. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9291> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
