[GHC] #14213: Improve the documentation of seq function

#14213: Improve the documentation of seq function -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: sibi | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Documentation | Version: 8.2.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- While the current documentation is fine, I think it would be better if it was mentioned explicitly that the first argument would be evaluated to `WHNF`. For a while, I was confused if it gets reduced to WHNF or NF. I can volunteer to send the patch if there is no objection to this. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14213 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
