Re: [Haskell-cafe] Default definitions for associated type synonyms

Hello,
Does anyone know if it is possible to specify a default definition for an associated type synonym? When I tried:
class A a where
type B a = a
GHC (version 6.9.20080309) told me: "Type declaration in a class must be a kind signature or synonym default". However, when I look at the parser I see no way to specify such synonym default. Is this possible?
I'm curious... so, cc'ing glasgow-haskell-users mailinglist because the question is more likely to be noticed by relevant people there.
Thanks, Zé Pedro

Isaac,

According to http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/TypeFunctionsStatus defaults for associated types is still a TODO. Cheers, Stefan
