---------------- Nuke ClassContext ---------------- This commit tidies up a long-standing inconsistency in GHC. The context of a class or instance decl used to be restricted to predicates of the form C t1 .. tn with type ClassContext = [(Class,[Type])] but everywhere else in the compiler we used type ThetaType = [PredType] where PredType can be any sort of constraint (= predicate). The inconsistency actually led to a crash, when compiling class (?x::Int) => C a where {} I've tidied all this up by nuking ClassContext altogether, and using PredType throughout. Lots of modified files, but all in more-or-less trivial ways. I've also added a check that the context of a class or instance decl doesn't include a non-inheritable predicate like (?x::Int). Other things * rename constructor 'Class' from type TypeRep.Pred to 'ClassP' (makes it easier to grep for) * rename constructor HsPClass => HsClassP HsPIParam => HsIParam
