#6018: Injective type families -------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: lunaris | Owner: simonpj Type: feature | Status: new request | Milestone: 7.10.1 Priority: normal | Version: 7.4.1 Component: Compiler | Keywords: TypeFamilies, Injective Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: | Difficulty: Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Type of failure: | Related Tickets: #4259 None/Unknown | Test Case: | Blocking: | -------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment (by acowley): My intended uses seem to arise quite often, but I've not found one that boils down into a small, self-contained, compelling example. In broad terms, I would like to use type families for decoupling, as hpacheco describes, and to do things like move back and forth between a set of distinct types and singleton Nats. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/6018#comment:28 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
