#13009: Hierarchical Module Structure for GHC -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: hsyl20 | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | ModuleDependencies/Hierarchical | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by hsyl20): Replying to [comment:1 simonpj]:
Why will it make "better integration" with other packages?
Because most other multi-module packages don't put modules directly in the "root namespace". It feels a little bit unusual that GHC modules in an import list don't share a common prefix (especially for utility modules like FastString whose package is not obvious).
I think by "better documentation" you perhaps mean "easier to navigate".
Yes indeed. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13009#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
