GHC.OverloadedLabels

Description

This module defines the IsLabel class is used by the OverloadedLabels extension. See the wiki page for more details.

When OverloadedLabels is enabled, if GHC sees an occurrence of the overloaded label syntax #foo, it is replaced with

fromLabel @"foo" :: alpha

plus a wanted constraint IsLabel "foo" alpha.

Note that if RebindableSyntax is enabled, the desugaring of overloaded label syntax will make use of whatever fromLabel is in scope.
