#8959: GHCi should honour UnicodeSyntax -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Fuuzetsu | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: 7.12.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 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 int-e): I'm unhappy with this change, because it uses a language extension that affects accepted **input** (namely, `UnicodeSyntax`) to modify the **output** of ghci. I would prefer having a ghci-specific option (say, `:set +/-u` or more verbosely, `:set +/-unicodeoutput`) instead. This is not just cosmetics; the current behaviour broke lambdabot's `:t` and `:k` commands, which parse ghci's output. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8959#comment:14 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
