I'm not surprised that `:info (~R#)` and `:info (~#P)` don't work, since I wouldn't expect users to be able to make use of these (see also #15209, which proposes to remove the ability to query `:info (~#)`.) It's a bit unfortunate that `:browse GHC.Prim` exposes `(~#)` and friends—perhaps we could alter `:browse` to avoid printing them. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12023#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
