My vote would be:
:info class Show :info type Show :info instance Show
where
:info Show
displays information about everything called "Show"
I know that classes and types share the same namespace currently, but it might not always be so.
Sounds good in principle, and has the advantage of being 100% backward compatible, but ":i class Show" for the common case (ahum, _my_ common case at least ;) still seems rather verbose, so how to abbreviate that?
How about a macro?
:def ic return . (":info class " ++)
Ah of course, I keep forgetting about :def :) Note that when classes and types would stop sharing their namespace, ":info instance Show" would again be ambiguous though.. Groeten, Remi
