#9858: Typeable instances should be kind-aware -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dreixel | Owner: dreixel Type: bug | Status: new Priority: highest | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.9 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 goldfire): I think your plan (of more defaulting to `*`) would break less code, but I think that someone saying `Proxy Proxy` without thinking about kinds yet specifying `PolyKinds` has made a mistake. After all, the goal is to make the `TypeRep` for `Proxy :: * -> *` and `Proxy :: Bool -> *` different. We should expect the user to specify which one they want. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9858#comment:60 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
