#11011: Add type-indexed type representations (`TypeRep a`) -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bjmprice | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 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: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by simonpj): * cc: ekmett, core-libraries-committee@… (added) Comment: It's clear that we'll continue to want bot a type-indexed and non-type- indexed representation. The only question is whether they are called * `TypeRep t`: type indexed * `TypeRepX`: non-indexed or * `TypeRepT t` or `TTypeRep t`: type indexed * `TypeRep`: non-indexed The latter has the merit of being more backward compatible. The former is nicer to my mind.
