#16009: Deprecate `optional` from Text.ParserCombinators.ReadP -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dbaynard | Owner: (none) Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.10.1 Component: libraries/base | Version: 8.6.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Applicative, | Parsers, ReadP Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: Other | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by mpickering): It isn't really clear what the advantage here is to deprecating this function. There is the clear disadvantage that it will break people's programs which use it. Does anyone feel the pain of this inconsistency? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16009#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
