#13893: Improved Help for Control.Concurrent and Control.Exception when "variable not in scope" -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: vanto | Owner: (none) Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Poor/confusing | Unknown/Multiple error message | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by slyfox): * cc: slyfox (added) Comment: I have a few clarifying questions on this proposal. - Why take preference of packages coming with ghc in this case? It's not always the case that user wants to use '''base''''s primitives. I would say suggesting incorrect module imports would lead to more confusion. - Which procedure should define which packages (and modules) are blessed to deliver suggestions for symbols? For example, do '''xhtml''' or '''haskeline'' packages quialify as such? - As ticket's subject is worded why '''Control.Concurrent''' and '''Control.Exception''' should be threated special? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13893#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
