#9515: Deprecate -XExplicitForAll -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dfeuer | Owner: Type: feature | Status: new request | Milestone: Priority: normal | Version: 7.8.3 Component: Compiler | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: | Difficulty: Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Type of failure: | Related Tickets: None/Unknown | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by kosmikus): If the idea is to avoid confusion, and the `ExplicitForall` flag is currently implied by others, then shouldn't `RankNTypes`, `LiberalTypeSynonyms`, and `ExistentialQuantification` all imply `ScopedTypeVariables` instead? But that's somewhat non-obvious ... I personally think that while the current situation is unfortunate, the proposed solution isn't ideal either. I'd keep everything as it currently is, until we get to a point where we can agree that `ScopedTypeVariables` should be enabled by default. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9515#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
