The long-deprecated bitSize method of the Bits class is slated to be removed in base-4.11 (GHC 8.4). There is one remaining question: should we replace it with a *function* by that name with a FiniteBits constraint? I don't feel very strongly either way, but Ryan Scott seems in favor and Edward Kmett seems opposed. So it seems best to bring it to the libraries list and let the CLC make the call.
As it's already DEPRECATED, I think it should be removed for a release first (in case anyone is still using it to help drive home the change in behaviour) before any alternative with that name is added. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com http://IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
