[ghc-steering-committee] #605: visible forall to work without ScopedTypeVariables, rec: accept

[Joachim Breitner]

Dear committee,

Vladislav Zavialov in
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/605
proposes a small fix to #281, namely that for

   f :: forall x -> Show x => x -> String
   f (type t) = show @t

to work, ExplicitNamespaces and RequiredTypeArguments is sufficient,
and we should not also require ScopedTypeVariables, which we are moving
away from.

I’ll shepherd this myself, and I suggest acceptance.


Cheers,
Joachim
