#10599: Template Haskell doesn't allow `newName "type"` -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: meteficha | Owner: goldfire Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 7.12.1 Component: Template Haskell | Version: 7.10.2-rc2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: None/Unknown | Unknown/Multiple Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by ekmett): As a brief addendum: You _could_ reference a non-`newName`'d variable named `type` that was produced from within `template-haskell` from within the language before: `Foo.type` parsed just fine as a qualified name. (This has apparently happened in some code folks have out there using `lens`.) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10599#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
