Description
This PR implements most of the proposal in #3327. With this change we can optionally provide a type annotation in a monadic bind, following the syntax of the same in a
let
statement:and with pattern matching
The discussion in #3327 (and on discord) mentions support for declaring multiplicities on the binds like in
let
statements. This is implemented when binding a variable name, but not for a pattern matching bind. The syntax for pattern quantities would have broken existing code and would not function correctly because of issues related to #2513 (ICase
does not have a quantity).Should this change go in the CHANGELOG?
implementation, I have updated
CHANGELOG_NEXT.md
(and potentially alsoCONTRIBUTORS.md
).
