Hi all, I just found myself in the need of Uniquable instance for RdrName. I'm surprised that such instance does not exist already because other datatypes like Name or OccName already have Uniquable instances. So, is there a reason why Uniquable instance for RdrName does not exist already (other than "it wasn't needed")? How should such an instance look like? I made an attempt:
rdrNameUnique :: RdrName -> Unique rdrNameUnique (Unqual occName) = getUnique occName rdrNameUnique (Qual _ occName) = getUnique occName rdrNameUnique (Orig _ occName) = getUnique occName rdrNameUnique (Exact name ) = getUnique name But I suspect this might be wrong: - cases 1 and 4 simply return a Unique for the OccName/Name stored inside RdrName. I think this will assign the same Unique to RdrName and corresponding OccName/Name. Is this allowed? - cases 2 and 3 ignore the Module stored inside RdrName. Again, this assigns the RdrName with a Unique identical to OccNames stored inside it. Help appreciated.
