[Haskell-cafe] Status of TypeDirectedNameResolution proposal?

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

Sigh.  Apologies.  Turns out that [1] is not publicly editable. So I've created a HaskellWiki page [2] and cross-linked them.

[2] http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/TypeDirectedNameResolution

You should be able to edit that!
