#7688: :kind should do kind generalisation ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: simonpj | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.2 Keywords: | Os: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase: Blockedby: | Blocking: Related: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by simonpj): Ha ha ha. You are quite right. GHC ''does'' kind-generalise types, but only if `-XPolyKinds` is on; and it's on in module `Test` but not at the interactive prompt. So I'm confused by my own compiler. Advice about better UI signalling or whatever would be welcome. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7688#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
