#8815: confusing language in error message -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: carter | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.1-rc1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by simonpj): Personally, I would have stuck with the previous `-XTypeFamilies` form in error messages, because it's an unambiguous clue that this is a language pragma. I suppose that (more verbosely) one could say `extension TypeFamilies` in error messages. But this is a user issue, so I didn't protest for #3647. If someone wants to re-open the question and gather opinions from users, I'm happy for GHC to adopt the result.
