#10756: Allow users to indicate inaccessible patterns -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: edsko | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by goldfire): Are you then suggesting that {{{ -- this is OK: impossible :: Int -- this is OK: impossible = 42 -- this is wrong: Just impossible = Just 42 }}} ? This would indeed bind `impossible` and then it would make sense to use the word in expressions. But I find it strange that the pattern `impossible` works at top-level but not elsewhere... it's just another weird wrinkle in a language that already has too many of them. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10756#comment:9 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
