#12560: ‘:info TYPE’ mentions any instance that includes ‘Type’ -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Iceland_jack | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 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 goldfire): OK, so to summarize: * You request that `:info T` print only those instances for which the use of `T` is visible. Naturally, this list is affected by `-fprint-explicit- kinds`. You mention some other ideas, but I don't think we should treat `TYPE` specially here: if a user is asking about it, they are accessing experts- only areas of GHC and can control the output themselves. Do you agree that this ticket is a feature request for my bulleted feature? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12560#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
