#9119: Additional symbols for XUnicodeSyntax -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: spacekitteh | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.2 (Parser) | Keywords: unicode Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 Type of failure: None/Unknown | hour) Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by nomeata): I have strong doubts about the usefulness of the extra equality symbols. By making the parser detect them as `=` you take away the possibility for the user to define them as functions in their code. `≟` might be quite useful in, say, test suites. Also, without knowing much about parsing, doesn’t {{{ ,("→", ITrarrow, unicodeSyntaxEnabled) ,("→", ITin, unicodeSyntaxEnabled) }}} conflict? Or will the parser do the right thing here? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9119#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
