#9642: LANGUAGE pragma synonyms -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dreixel | Owner: Type: feature | Status: new request | Milestone: Priority: normal | Version: 7.9 Component: Compiler | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: | Difficulty: Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Type of failure: | Related Tickets: None/Unknown | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by jstolarek): Replying to [comment:7 nomeata]:
How about putting these aliases into the package database? But then loading a module from the package into GHCi would require knowing about aliases in the `.cabal` file.
(This opens the way to other `cabal` flags to be used here, e.g. compiler flags to load a specific plugin, which might be very useful, but let’s not go there with this proposal yet.) That's a feature I would like to see. In the past I struggled a lot because I had to duplicate in the `benchmark` section all language extensions and compilation options specified in `library` section. But then again this is a Cabal feature request, not GHC.
