Consider the following two modules
----------------------------------------
module A (A_a) where
newtype A_a a = A_a (a,a)
----------------------------------------
which compiles fine, and
----------------------------------------
module Main where
import A
main = putStrLn (show (A_a (3,5)))
----------------------------------------
compilitation yields (ghc 2.10.1 on i386-linux)
----------------------------------------
$ ghc -c Main.hs
Main.hs:3: Data constructor not in scope: `A_a'
Compilation had errors
----------------------------------------
The same happens for this one
----------------------------------------
module Main where
import A (A_a)
main = putStrLn (show (A_a (3,5)))
----------------------------------------
and this one
----------------------------------------
module A (A_a) where
data A_a a = A_a (a,a)
----------------------------------------
It's a bug, not a feature, isn't it ?
Bye,
Joern
