This document is proposal for more-notation in Haskell.
Syntax
Anywhere that a more-notation is allowed (see Uses), you can use the syntax:
- more [(name_of_enumeration)] more_name {parameters}
- name_of_enumeration: A name of any type which is an enumeration. It can be another one using more-notation, but it must be able to fully determine it before this more-notation can be fully determined.
- more_name: A capitalized name. It uses the same namespace as constructors, so you are not allowed to have a constructor of the same name (although it is OK to have types of the that name).
- parameters: Optional lowercased names. These names are in local scope, and may already exist in this scope, although they do not have to.
A more-declaration is a module-level declaration of this syntax:
- [ numeric_literal | (enumeration_constructor) ] more_name {parameters} = contents { | contents } ;
