#12390: List rules for `Coercible` instances -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Iceland_jack | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | 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): +1 to comment:2. `Coercible` is not a class. Any resemblance it has to a class is purely historical. That said, I'm very sympathetic to the original motivation of having `:info Coercible` print something more useful. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12390#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
