Topic: include [...] analogous to omit [...]
Anatole Dedecker (Oct 29 2025 at 12:13):
If I have a variable [Foo], I can do omit [Foo], but I can't do include [Foo]. Is there a reason this would be a bad idea?
Kenny Lau (Oct 29 2025 at 12:16):
probably not, because if you do [h : Foo] then you can include h anyways
Anatole Dedecker (Oct 29 2025 at 12:17):
Yes but the point of the omit [Foo] syntax is precisely not having to name typeclass arguments.
Kenny Lau (Oct 29 2025 at 12:17):
"probably not" is referring to "Is there a reason this would be a bad idea?"
