It would be great if someone could offer a patch for this.
(Thanks Ben for your help in piloting me through the process.) Please see [https://github.com/ghc/ghc/pull/137 this Pull Request]. Hope I've done everything right. It was a bit daunting editting the whole of `glasgow_exts` as one monstrous file. I have (I hope) touched only section 10.16.
Misleading documentation is in many ways worse than no documentation.
I've at least corrected the most egregious errors. I also reviewed refs/links to ScopedTypeVariables from other sections. (Some of them were more accurate than 10.16 itself ;-) No other changes needed on this topic IMO. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15146#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
