1974,"length ""foo"" doesn't work with -XOverloadedStrings",ganesh,,"The extensions to the defaulting rule for -XOverloadedStrings aren't sufficient to make {{{length ""foo""}}} typecheck without an annotation. The reason is that we end up with a constraint {{{IsString [a]}}}, and we would somehow have to decide to instantiate a to Char to get the hoped-for behaviour.

It would be nice if this could be made to work (perhaps just with -XExtendedDefaultRules), if a solution can be found without too much hacking.",feature request,new,normal,_|_,Compiler,6.8.1,,,lennart.augustsson@…,Unknown/Multiple,Unknown/Multiple,None/Unknown,Unknown,,,,
