#9515: Deprecate -XExplicitForAll -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dfeuer | Owner: Type: feature | Status: new request | Milestone: Priority: normal | Version: 7.8.3 Component: Compiler | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: | Difficulty: Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Type of failure: | Related Tickets: None/Unknown | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): Good idea. So far as I can see the '''sole''' effect of `-XExplicitForAll` is to enable the `forall` keyword. It's implied by `RankNTypes`, `ScopedTypeVariables`, `LiberalTypeSynonyms`, `ExistentialQuantification`. I'm all for deprecating it as a flag in its own right. Does anyone want to offer a patch? Need to update the user manual too, and get rid of uses of it in the GHC tree itself.
