#7586: :kind command cannot show kind of type synonyms -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: augustss | Owner: Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.1 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Testcase: | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Changes (by igloo): * status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: I think that special casing `:kind` and `:type` when applied to names would be a bad idea. That magic will just cause even more confusion overall. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7586#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
