- <longdescription>
- This package provides an implementation of the ideas presented in the paper
- \"Functional Pearl: Implicit Configurations\" by Oleg Kiselyov and
- Chung-chieh Shan. However, the API has been streamlined to improve performance.
-
- The original paper can be obtained from
- &lt;http://www.cs.rutgers.edu/~ccshan/prepose/prepose.pdf&gt;.
-
- /Changes in 1.1.6/:
-
- * Relaxed an unnecessary strictness annotation in the fast implementation
-
- /Changes in 1.1.5/:
-
- * Both implementations now work on Hugs; the fast implementation ascends
- from the ranks of completely unportable black magic to being merely
- /mostly/ unportable black magic.
-
- /Changes from 0.5 to 1.1/:
-
- * Much faster implementation available that is about 50 /times/ faster than
- 0.9 and which runs purely on black magic. This version is now used by
- default. To turn it off install with the @slow@ flag. If you encounter a
- problem with the implementation, please contact the author.
-
- * Removed @ReifiedNum@, @reflectNum@, and @reifyIntegral@; @reify@ and
- @reflect@ are about 3 orders of magnitude faster than the special case
- combinators were.
-
- /Changes in 0.5/:
-
- * Generalized the type signatures in reflect to allow you to pass any type
- with kind @* -&gt; *@ wrapped around the desired type as the phantom type
- argument rather than just a @Proxy@.
-
- /Changes in 0.4/:
-
- * Converted from `Data.Tagged` to using `Data.Proxy` for reflection. This
- reduces the need for helper functions and scoped type variables in user
- code.
