Hello,
The following function is a valid function in ghc6.2.2:
> func :: (forall a . [a]) -> [b]
> func [] = []
However, in ghc6.4.1 it does not work anymore:
Iterators4.lhs:56:6:
Couldn't match `forall a. [a]' against `[a]'
When checking the pattern: []
In the definition of `func': func [] = []
Is this supposed to happen?
Cheers,
Bruno
