#8656: Identical functions in Template Haskell -------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: jstolarek | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Template | Version: 7.7 Haskell | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: | Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 hour) Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Type of failure: | Related Tickets: None/Unknown | Test Case: | Blocking: | -------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment (by jstolarek):
I'm also not sure how best to document this issue. This could be documenting by explaining why we keep two identical functions, eg. `varE` for consistency and `global` to maintain API compatibility with existing code. Next person to see these two identical functions would not spend their time trying to figure out why do we have duplicate code :-)
