Dropped: General Type Projection
Scala so far allowed general type projection T#A
where T
is an arbitrary type and A
names a type member of T
.
Scala 3 disallows this if T
is an abstract type (class types and type aliases are fine). This change was made because unrestricted type projection is unsound.
This restriction rules out the type-level encoding of a combinator calculus.
To rewrite code using type projections on abstract types, consider using path-dependent types or implicit parameters.
