#10343: Make Typeable track kind information better -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: oerjan | Owner: goldfire Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: typeOf :: | Typeable (a::k) => Proxy a -> | TypeRep Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #9858 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): I'm lost on this thread. Can someone re-state what the ''specification'' is? And do so without reference to the preceding 24 comments. Just a free-standing description of the problem we are trying to solve. I can't begin to think about an implementation until I'm clear about specification. Also, can you do that in the light of the (recently-published) [http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/simonpj/papers/haskell- dynamic/ A reflection on types]? It describes the story about type representation that I hope to get into HEAD once 8.0 is out of the way.
