#8753: Import constructor but not the data type -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: andreas.abel | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Documentation | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Changes (by nomeata): * status: closed => new * resolution: fixed => * component: Compiler => Documentation * type: feature request => task Comment: Doesn’t seem like it. http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/syntax-extns.html #pattern-synonyms mentions `pattern Foo` in export/import list, but does not say that proper constructors can also be addressed this way. I guess it should also be mentioned in http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/syntax-extns.html #explicit-namespaces Anywhere else where this should be mentioned?
