| By the way: it is possible to use a private constructor (via some | special GHC flag?). | I would like to do a quick performance check using the existing | fromRational specialization by constructing a Rational directly. | | I know that Haskell allows declaration hiding for program safety, but | sometimes this can be a nuisance. I think you mean that if you have module M(f) where f = ... g = ... precompiled in a library, is it possible to call g? No, I'm afraid it isn't, at least in GHC. For example, 'g' may no longer exist... it may have been inlined into 'f'. Simon
