Re: [Haskell-cafe] Early feedback on a GHC proposal

I like it. My use case for overloaded application is from singletons, where I want users to be able to apply something of type Sing (x :: k1 -> k2). Right now, they must call `applySing` to do the application. Thanks for writing it up! Richard

Anyone want to offer some early feedback on a GHC proposal I'm working on? It's called OverloadedApplication. Current version at https://github.com/cdsmith/ghc-proposals/blob/overloadedapplication/proposal... https://github.com/cdsmith/ghc-proposals/blob/overloadedapplication/proposal...

I am proposing something a bit more ambitious than what I need, because the proposal as written seems more likely to be broadly useful. The bit that I actually need is about desugaring of infix operators in the presence of RebindableSyntax. I'd love to get early thoughts from anyone who has a solid use case for the rest of the proposal. It feels like a thing that *ought* to be useful, but I'm drawing blanks at the moment. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list To (un)subscribe, modify options or view archives go to: http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe Only members subscribed via the mailman list are allowed to post.
