#10478: Shorter import syntax -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: acowley | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: Phab:D1238 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by acowley): Sure, {{{ import modid maybeImpspec maybeAs }}} Semantics are the same as existing imports unless both an `impspec` (i.e. a parenthesised list of identifiers optionally prefixed with the `hiding` keyword) and an `as` (e.g. `as M`) are present. In such a case, all identifiers exported by `modid` are accessible behind the prefix given by the `as`. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10478#comment:21 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
