#11350: Allow visible type application in patterns -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Iceland_jack | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.1 Resolution: | Keywords: | TypeApplications PatternSynonyms Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by adamgundry): * cc: adamgundry (added) Comment: Yes, this is a good idea. It would give a much nicer way to bind (particularly existential) type variables than the current `ScopedTypeVariables` hack. I think typecase should be treated separately though, and with lower priority (cf. #11387). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11350#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
