#14088: Allow users to omit `forall` -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Iceland_jack | Owner: (none) Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.1 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 AntC): Hmm so {{{ f :: forall a b. a -> b -> a }}} becomes {{{ f :: a b. a -> b -> a }}} That initial `a b` looks like type application. {{{ g :: b.Foo -> Int }}} You probably meant {{{ g :: B.Foo -> Int }}} If you think `forall` is too verbose, you could use ∀ (?) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14088#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
