#4025: template-haskell Use named fields in Info
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: aavogt | Owner:
Type: proposal | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: libraries/base
Version: 6.12.2 | Keywords:
Os: Unknown/Multiple | Testcase:
Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: None/Unknown
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
== Problem ==
The meaning of the fields for constructors of
Language.Haskell.TH.Syntax.Info must be guessed.
See #1576
== Proposed Change ==
Naming the fields for each constructor helps reduce this confusion.
