CLC has approved the proposal to remove
(/=)
fromclass Eq
(haskell/core-libraries-committee#3). It means thatclass Eq
will contain a single member(==)
and(/=)
will be just a normal function.The implementation of the proposal is delayed at least to GHC 9.4 and likely to GHC 9.6, but one can already future-proof
Eq
instances to be compliant with this change in a backwards-compatible way. No CPP required.Migration guide and more info: https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/pull/16/files?short_path=96261da#diff-96261daba6a7a6dc59441c8a9ae10ce5cbbeae9a5ad9b11d9b8cac0d3c01be5a
