I'm not sure we want to deprecate it either... }}} So both flags exist, and the warning message happens to pick the shorter version. Just a documentation issue. For a newcomer: update `docs/users_guide/using-warnings.rst` and `utils/mkUserGuidePart/Options/Warnings.hs`. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12379#comment:1> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
