Description
This is likely to be the most challenging task of updating the Haskell 2010 language report. We have to somehow incorporate the rules decided upon in https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/proposals/0229-whitespace-bang-patterns.rst into the report, while at the same time not diverging too far from the BNF-like formalism that the report currently uses.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the current Haskell 2010 language report's whitespace and operator grammar, then compare it with ghc-proposals proposal 0229-whitespace-bang-patterns.rst. Done means the report incorporates the decided whitespace rules without diverging unnecessarily from its existing BNF-like formalism.
