#8778: Typeable TypeNats -------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: dmcclean | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: ⊥ Component: Compiler (Type checker) | Version: 7.8.1-rc1 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Unknown | Type of failure: Blocked By: | None/Unknown Related Tickets: 4385 | Test Case: | Blocking: -------------------------------------------+------------------------------- It would be useful (the case I have at hand is for some scenarios involving checking of physical dimensions) to be able to combine the Data.Dynamic story with the GHC.TypeLits story. A Typeable instance for every Nat is the sticking point. (I do not know if this is even theoretically possible.) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8778 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
