#9649: symbols should/might be type level lists of chars -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ibotty | Owner: ibotty Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: Compiler | Version: Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Unknown | Type of failure: Blocked By: | None/Unknown Related Tickets: | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I thought I had seen that feature request in trac but did not find it. Sorry if I am wrong. A simple use case might be a type safe routing framework, e.g. {{{ get :: Route "/a/:id" $ do idA <- param :: Param "idA" ... }}} I spoke with pedro at hacberlin last weekend and he told me simonp and iavor might tell me where to start looking. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9649 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
