#11756: Data.Functor.Classes instances for Proxy -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: andrewthad | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Core Libraries | Version: 8.0.1-rc2 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 RyanGlScott): By all means, start adding instances if you need them. As I noted [https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11135#comment:25 here], I plan to eventually create a language extension for deriving `Eq1` and friends, which will make adding these kinds of instances much less painful in the future. But we don't derive `Eq`, `Ord`, etc. for `Proxy` anyway to make the instances sufficiently lazy, so we should provide similar treatment for `Eq1`, `Ord1`, etc. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11756#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
