#10343: Make Typeable track kind information better -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: oerjan | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: None/Unknown | Unknown/Multiple Blocked By: | Test Case: typeOf :: Related Tickets: #9858 | Typeable (a::k) => Proxy a -> | TypeRep | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): I'm assuming that much of what Oerjan wants will "just work" once we have Richard's kind equalities. Right Richard? But not, perhaps, `kindRep` which I do not fully understand. I wonder if we might address `kindRep` as part of the overhaul sketched in [wiki:Typeable this wiki page about Typeable]? The plan there is to move to type-indexed type representations. * What would `kindRep` look in that context? * How would you use `kindRep`? A new subsection on that page might be useful.
