#5144: Pattern synonyms -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: simonpj | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: _|_ Component: Compiler | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by simonmar): Replying to [comment:10 cactus]: Great to hear that you're working on this! Just out of interest, are you implementing ViewPatternsAlternative too? Pattern synonyms become rather powerful when you can use pattern guards inside them, which is what ViewPatternsAlternative lets you do.

What's the correct protocol in this case? Should I mark myself as the owner on this ticket until I have my patches ready for submission for review? Or only after an initial working version is accepted?

You can assign the ticket to yourself if you're working on it, yes. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5144#comment:12 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
