#10653: PatternSynonyms should be imported/exported as part of the wildcard notation -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: gridaphobe | Owner: mpickering Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.11 Resolution: | Keywords: pattern | synonyms Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by thomie): Here is a use case for this feature. A module in the Darcs codebase currently says: {{{ import GHC.Exception ( throwIO, ErrorCall(..) ) }}} This code doesn't compile with HEAD, because #5273 replaced the `ErrorCall` data constructor by a pattern synonym. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10653#comment:28 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
