Re: template haskell (reify bug and existentials)

Ian, What are the chances of getting fundeps added to class declarations?
I only need to generate them so support in the syntax and pretty-printer
is all that is required... Here are the changes I have made to my local copy
to get it working. I suppose this breaks existing code! Perhaps you would
rather have a new constructor for classes with fundeps?

    Keean

in Syntax.hs:
    ...
    type Fundep = ([Name],[Name]) -- add to export list
    ...
    | ClassD Cxt Name [Name] [Dec] [Fundep]

in Ppr.hs:
    ...
    ppr (ClassD ctxt c xs ds fd) = text "class" <+> pprCxt ctxt
                            <+> ppr c <+> hsep (map ppr xs) <+> pprFd fd
                             $$ where_clause ds
    ...
    pprFd :: [Fundep] -> Doc
    pprFd fds@(_:_) = char '|' <+> hsep (punctuate comma $ map
       (\(l,r) -> (hsep $ map ppr l) <+> text "->" <+> (hsep $ map ppr 
r)) fds)
    pprFd _ = empty

in Lib.hs
    ...
    classD :: CxtQ -> Name -> [Name] -> [DecQ] -> [Fundep] -> DecQ
    classD ctxt cls tvs decs fd =
      do
        decs1 <- sequence decs
        ctxt1 <- ctxt
        return $ ClassD ctxt1 cls tvs decs1 fd
