#10541: Expose kind information for type variables with reify -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: spinda | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Template Haskell | Version: 7.10.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: None/Unknown | Unknown/Multiple Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by spinda): That sounds right to me. If the splice produced {{{a b c}}} then that would change the kind. My use case is reading the kind in type synonyms with explicit kind signatures on certain type variables. What about possibility (b), with {{{KindedTV}}} where the kind is known and {{{PlainTV}}} where it isn't set? Or perhaps an additional {{{Maybe Kind}}} on {{{TyVarI}}}. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10541#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
