[Haskell-cafe] Early feedback on a GHC proposal

[Richard Eisenberg]

I like it.

My use case for overloaded application is from singletons, where I want users to be able to apply something of type Sing (x :: k1 -> k2). Right now, they must call `applySing` to do the application.

Thanks for writing it up!

Current version at https://github.com/cdsmith/ghc-proposals/blob/overloadedapplication/proposals/0000-overloaded-application.rst <https://github.com/cdsmith/ghc-proposals/blob/overloadedapplication/proposals/0000-overloaded-application.rst>

The bit that I actually need is about desugaring of infix operators in the presence of RebindableSyntax.  I'd love to get early thoughts from anyone who has a solid use case for the rest of the proposal.  It feels like a thing that *ought* to be useful, but I'm drawing blanks at the moment.
