#12029: Notify user to import * from Data.Kind with TypeInType on -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Iceland_jack | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: lowest | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 8.1 Resolution: | Keywords: TypeInType Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by johnleo): I have copied Richard's comments about deprecating `*` into [https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12030]. I have also created [https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12550] for the work to fix display of `*` when unicode is set. I agree with Richard's arguments to not change the behavior of either `:k *` or `:i *` for now, and am closing this feature request. If Iceland Jack or anyone else feels very passionately about it, feel free to reopen with additional justification. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12029#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
