Hi!
Are there any dangers in comparing two StableNames of different type?
stEq :: StableName a -> StableName b -> Bool stEq a b = a == (unsafeCoerce b)
I could guard the coercion by first comparing the type representations, but that would give me a `Typeable` constraint that would spread throughout the code.
I think that's probably OK.
OK, good! How about putting this function in the library so that people don't have to hack it up themselves?
Oops, I did not intend to sound suggestive :) I was more wondering if people think it would be a good idea. If so, I can make a proposal.
Ok, I've added it. It will be in GHC 7.8.1. Cheers, Simon
