Strange display behaviour in GHCi
Kazu encountered another GHCi oddity. Try ":browse Prelude" in GHCi. With 6.12 we get
data Integer
= integer-gmp:GHC.Integer.Type.S# GHC.Prim.Int#
| integer-gmp:GHC.Integer.Type.J# GHC.Prim.Int# GHC.Prim.ByteArray#
Why do we get the integer-gmp:
prefix? There is no ambiguity here. (GHC 6.10 didn't do this, but that's because Integer
was in the base
package, whereas now Integer
is in integer-gmp
.)
