#13003: improve documentation for typed TH and make it more discoverable -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: carter | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Documentation | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by goldfire): I think one could debate whether or not they should be under the same flag, but it's not clear to me that a new flag is needed. `-XTemplateHaskell` already enabled 4 different types of splices and quotes; typed TH just adds a fifth. In any case, I'm loath to break backward compatibility to fix this now. My suggestion about going via the mailing list is just to see what others think of this suggestion. Perhaps a list other than libraries@ is better. The problem is that I don't really trust my own instincts for this kind of user-facing design and would want to hear others weigh in. I'm not suggesting we go through an elaborate process -- I just want a few more voices. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13003#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
