Maurizio-

You listed removal of "experimental support for exception transparency" as one of the changes to bring the implementation in line with the latest spec EDR, but I don't remember seeing that in your preceding email listing the differences between the implementation and the specification. The EDR does not say how exceptions play into type inference (the entire type inference section is "Still under development"), but it certainly does show examples of apparently exception-transparent SAMs and lambdas. Can you please tell us what has changed?

Cheers, Neal

It is also time to bring the code in sync with the latest spec EDR (more on that below).

The cleanup focus on the following areas: *) Remove experimental support for exception transparency ...
