#10252: Abstract newtype in hs-boot -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ezyang | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler (Type | Version: 7.11 checker) | Keywords: backpack Resolution: worksforme | Architecture: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by goldfire): Hmmm... I guess so. It means that we can't tell whether something is a `data` or a `newtype` right away. This throws out the idea of representational matching, for better or worse. Good point. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10252#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
