But I urge you to run this by the [https://mail.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/libraries Haskell libraries mailing list] first, since proposals to generalize type signatures in `base` have sometimes proven to be controversial :) -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12805#comment:1> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

You should have mentioned that - given the positive response from the earlier discussion (and the more current discussion on the mailing list), I don't see any reason why we shouldn't incorporate this change into `base`.

Care to submit a patch on Phabricator?
In principle I can, but I'm rather disinclined to learn the whole GHC contributor system just to flip a single bit in the source code. I'd appreciate it if someone more experienced would do it, otherwise it will have to wait until I have a lot of free time. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12805#comment:4> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
