* In GHC 8.4.1, the operator <> has become a method of the Semigroup class
and is exported from the Prelude. This is unfortunate, since <> is also
exported from the standard library module Text.PrettyPrint, so in any
module that defines a pretty printer, there is likely to be an ambiguity.
This affects ~18 modules in GF. Solution:
import Prelude hiding (<>)
This works also in older versions of GHC, since GHC does't complain if
you hide something that doesn't exists.
* In GHC 8.4.1, Semigroup has become a superclass of Monoid. This means
that anywhere you define an instance of the Monoid class you also have to
define an instance in the Semigroup class.
This affects Data.Binary.Builder in GF. Solution: conditionally define
a Semigroup instance if compiling with base>=4.11 (ghc>=8.4.1)
Included renamings:
SourceGrammar -> Grammar
SourceModule -> Module
SourceModInfo -> ModuleInfo
emptySourceGrammar -> emptyGrammar
Also introduces a type synonym (which might be good to turn into a newtype):
type ModuleName = Ident
The reason is to make types like the following more self documenting:
type Module = (ModuleName,ModuleInfo)
type QIdent = (ModuleName,Ident)
