data HsBind id
= FunBind { -- FunBind is used for both functions f x = e
-- and variables f = \x -> e
- -- Reason: the Match stuff lets us have an optional
- -- result type sig f :: a->a = ...mentions a...
- --
- -- This also means that instance decls can only have
- -- FunBinds, so if you change this, you'll need to
- -- change e.g. rnMethodBinds
+-- Reason 1: the Match stuff lets us have an optional
+-- result type sig f :: a->a = ...mentions a...
+--
+-- Reason 2: Special case for type inference: see TcBinds.tcMonoBinds
+--
+-- Reason 3: instance decls can only have FunBinds, which is convenient
+-- If you change this, you'll need tochange e.g. rnMethodBinds
