#8113: Cannot override ghci builtin commands with :def[!] -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: GHCi | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: Other | Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 Test Case: | hour) ghci/scripts/T8113 | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by rwbarton): I got caught off guard by hvr's change because I had a ghci macro `:tsu` I'd forgotten about which meant that every time I tried to `:t` something I got a weird error. Took me a while to figure out that it was my `.ghci` file at fault. I suppose I could learn to use `:type` or `::t` but I'd prefer not to have to. And I don't want to have to give up macros starting with t, and every other single-letter ghci command that I use. Can we please have macros override built-in commands, but still have `:t` expand to `:type`? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8113#comment:13 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
