Here are some alternatives: - Warning: Cannot export `a-type-alias' because it is a type abbreviation. I'd vote for this, because of its shortness. The warning is actually fatal, and the compilation will stop shortly with a message that includes the module name. - Warning: In module `mod', type abbreviation `a-type-alias' cannot be exported. This is your suggestion. - Warning: Cannot export `a-type-alias' because it refers to a type abbreviation. - Warning: Cannot export `a-type-alias' from module `mod', it refers to a type abbreviation. This is my original suggestion. - Warning: In module `mod', `a-type-alias' is unexportable because it is a type abbreviation. - Warning: Cannot export `a-type-alias' from module `mod', because it refers to a type abbreviation. - Warning: In module `mod', identifier `a-type-alias' cannot be exported, because it refers to a type abbreviation. > >> >> Evan >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Chicken-hackers mailing list >> Chicken-hackers@nongnu.org >> https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-hackers _______________________________________________ Chicken-hackers mailing list Chicken-hackers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-hackers
