However, with -PackageKey, the situation is different. First, the key is not a human readable -at all, so we need to consult the package database to find the appropriate -PackageId to display. Second, there may be multiple copies of a library visible -with the same PackageId, in which case we need to disambiguate. For now, -we just emit the actual package key (which the user can go look up); however, -another scheme is to (recursively) say which dependencies are different. - -NB: When we extend package keys to also have holes, we will have to disambiguate -those as well. +PackageKey, the situation can be different: if the key is instantiated with +some holes, we should try to give the user some more useful information. -} -- | Creates some functions that work out the best ways to format |
