#16009: Deprecate `optional` from Text.ParserCombinators.ReadP -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dbaynard | Owner: (none) Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.10.1 Component: libraries/base | Version: 8.6.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Applicative, | Parsers, ReadP Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: Other | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by dbaynard): This is currently blocked on a decision (from the core libraries committee?) on how to proceed — either to take it up (and begin the deprecation process for `optional`, to propose a way to take it to the wider community (a process I'm happy to lead), or to dismiss as wontfix. Whatever the case, I would like to begin the process as soon as possible; perhaps even beginning deprecation in the next major release. It seems like this would languish here, otherwise. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16009#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
