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

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.

bold! For your use-case (presenting a world view where only curried functions are allowed), the proposal https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/23 might be useful (but in its current form it has now way of influencing another module, which you’d probably need to remove boiler-plate code from the student’s modules).
