Re: Proposal: Add log1p and expm1 to GHC.Float.Floating

It sounds like we're converging to a solution whereby they do get defaults, but you also get a MINIMAL pragma warning you you probably want to override them for manual Floating instances, so users will get a warning not an error if they omit implementations, and switching over will not hurt existing code. That warning should serve much the same role as the deprecation cycle would and no existing user code will break. On Thu, Apr 24, 2014 at 4:38 AM, Johan Tibell wrote:

I believe we've reached a consensus that no defaults is superior to error defaults. And I agree! So that's one bird down :)

If I understand correctly, that's going to break user code without a deprecation cycle and as such gets an enthusiastic -1 from me.

If that's the case, -1 from me too. Breaking user code for a change which is useful to a tiny minority is not worth it.

Otherwise I'm +1 having the functions in general.
