#9515: Deprecate -XExplicitForAll -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dfeuer | Owner: Type: feature | Status: new request | Milestone: Priority: normal | Version: 7.8.3 Component: Compiler | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: | Difficulty: Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Type of failure: | Related Tickets: None/Unknown | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by isaacdupree): We could change ExplicitForAll to be a subset of ScopedTypeVariables. Make "forall" always introduce type variable scopes, but error if any type variable is actually used in a scoped way without ScopedTypeVariables. (I am not volunteering to implement that change - I don't feel strongly enough about this) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9515#comment:12 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
