Resolves: #1637
This diff adds a
typeApplicationsoption to function restrictions, allowing users to require or forbid visible type arguments on specific functions. The primary use case is enforcing refactor-safe usage of polymorphic functions likefromIntegralandshow, where implicit type inference can silently produce incorrect behaviour after type changes.E.g., you're now able to specify:
Where
fromIntegral xwill be flagged with "Use visible type application", whilefromIntegral @Int @Int64 xwill be accepted. The option also supports forbidden for cases where type applications should be disallowed.
