| I'm a little puzzled by these seeming duplicate pages in the | manual: | | http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/current/docs/users_guide/type-extensions.htm... | | http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/current/docs/users_guide/data-type-extension...
The former is garbage. It's part of an *earlier* iteration of the HEAD user manual, left around by mistake.
| They give slightly different section numbers to similar stuff. | The former page also has a curious discussion of standalone | deriving with a `for` keyword: | | http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/current/docs/users_guide/type-extensions.htm...
Same problem. Standalone deriving is described here...
I found it linked from the wiki page on stand-alone deriving (which also happens to have the offending sytnax). -- Jason Dusek |...the wiki page on stand-alone deriving...| http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/?title=GHC/Stand-alone_deriving_declarations&action=history
