Navigating GHC proposals

[Simon Peyton Jones]

That is amazingly indirect.  Oh well.

Well, you can go to the history of the file, and from there to the first commit ("Rename proposal file"), and from there you'll see a link to the pull request in the blue box next to the name of the branch (the link looks like "#32" in this case).

But really, I wouldn't recommend sending the rendered link to someone, send the link to the pull request.

Seriously?  But the rendered proposal is the useful link to send to people.  There _must_ be a way, even if its indirect.

I don't think there is a way to go from the rendered proposal to the pull request, other than the "back" button in your browser.

The constraint-vs-type proposal seems a little bit weird in that it actually has a branch in the ghc-proposals repository itself, rather than being a pull request from a fork in @goldfire's account.  Richard, was that intentional?

Once I am looking the rendered form of a GHC proposal, eg

how can I find my way to the “conversation” for that proposal, so I can comment on it?
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/32<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fghc-proposals%2Fghc-proposals%2Fpull%2F32&data=02%7C01%7Csimonpj%40microsoft.com%7C79cf69fc14654d88648e08d438a90a1c%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636195746098640774&sdata=WIDk8KnNJ6dpm4q3K%2BUyGt4E8LuSmS%2F29cYpCv7GZnk%3D&reserved=0>

Once more, I am lost in a maze of twisty little Githup passages.  I clearly have not yet internalised an accurate model of what Github is thinking
Thanks
