#13145: Documentation shouldn't call things functions that aren't functions -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: chris-martin | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: libraries/base | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Documentation | Unknown/Multiple bug | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by Yuras): You can go ahead and submit a patch because my opinion is just an opinion. Or you can drop a message to [https://mail.haskell.org/cgi- bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell-prime haskell-prime] mailing list and see what people think about that. I think your definition is a bit naive because the same (polymorphic) value will or will not be a function depending on a context: {{{ Prelude> let func = pure 5 :: Applicative m => m Int Prelude> func 5 Prelude> func 12 5 Prelude> }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13145#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
