Undocumented changes to Word16 in GHC 9.2.1
I'm looking for an explanation for https://github.com/fpco/streaming-commons/issues/68.
I've been looking at:
- http://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/9.2.1-notes.html (No mention)
- https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.16.0.0/changelog (No mention)
- https://hackage.haskell.org/package/ghc-prim-0.8.0/changelog (No mention)
- https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/migration/9.2
The last page finally contains a hint:
TODO: Mention
Int{8,16,32}#
/Word{8,16,32}#
-related changes
It would be nice if these changes were documented properly.
I'm wondering whether it would be helpful if the release management duties would be spread among more people. I think if there was a "release reviewer" in addition to the release manager, issues like this one could be caught before the actual release.
