#11634: Bang patterns bind... unexpectedly. Deserves loud warning -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Documentation | Version: 7.10.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): I think it would be better to make bang bind more tightly so that it behaves the way you expect. We go to some trouble to make {{{ f !x y = e }}} mean {{{ f (!x) y = e }}} so bang binds pretty tightly there. This is a purely syntactic matter. Would anyone like to tackle it?
