#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: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by goldfire): I think we can have our cake and eat it too. Just use a new module name and then we can have `Data.Typeable.TypeRep` be different from `Data.Reflection.TypeRep`. (Of course, we can keep just one `Typeable`, happily.) I vastly prefer `TypeRep` and `TypeRepX` over `TTypeRep` and `TypeRep`. But I have no great reason for doing so. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11011#comment:24 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
