#14548: Lexically scoped kind variables -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: simonpj | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #14288, #14498 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by goldfire): I wouldn't expect `k` to scope over the body in either of the original examples. I think that users should have to explicitly bind `k` in the `forall` to get it to scope. However, making this not so painful will require sorting out [https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/83 this proposal] first. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14548#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
