no-role-annots: Role annotations without -XRoleAnnotations
This package is intended to ease the transition from GHC 7.6.3- to GHC 7.8+ by providing a backward-compatible role annotation syntax. The module Language.Haskell.RoleAnnots exports backward-compatible declarations usable to assign stricter roles to declarations. Proper role annotations are preferred, but these work, too. The module Language.Haskell.RoleAnnots.Check provides a way to check that a datatype has a set of desired roles. This might be suitable for use in a testsuite. See the module documentation for details. Note that this package works only with GHC 7.4 and up, because it depends on the -XPolyKinds extension. If you need backward compatibility before 7.4, then please look at the source code and adapt the definitions to the kinds of the variables in your program.

This package is intended to ease the transition from GHC 7.6.3- to GHC 7.8+
by providing a backward-compatible role annotation syntax. The module
Language.Haskell.RoleAnnots exports backward-compatible declarations
usable to assign stricter roles to declarations. Proper role annotations
are preferred, but these work, too.
The module Language.Haskell.RoleAnnots.Check provides a way to check
that a datatype has a set of desired roles. This might be suitable for
use in a testsuite.
