Hello, I've been reading about Annotations [1] as implemented during last years Summer of Code, and about some earlier ideas [3] [2]. It seems though that these annotations have never been merged into HEAD [4]. Could anyone elaborate on the current status of this proposal? Has there been any further work or discussion about this subject that I haven't been able to dig up? - Tom Lokhorst [1] http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Annotations [2] http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-prime/2006-November/001893.html [3] http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-prime/ticket/88 [4] http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2008-September/047293.html
Annotations are indeed implemented and in the HEAD. Looking at [1], the writeup looks historically skewed, rather than being a crisp writeup of what is actually there. I wonder if Max or Tristan might improve the situation (after the Haskell workshop deadline)? As it happens Tristan's Haskell Workshop submission makes essential use of annotations.

I wrote a small section for the manual that will appear online (at
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/pragmas.html)
when we release 6.12. I've updated the wiki page to reflect this and
give some other helpful info
(http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Annotations).
Cheers,
