The Provenance of a GlobalRdrElt simply couldn't express that before. Now you can. In doing so, I flattened out Provenance into GlobalRdrElt, so quite a lot of modules are touched in a not-very-interesting way. }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7672#comment:17 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
