I'm personally of the "it should be a language extension like everything else" mindset Yeah, I'm going the Pragma route.
If we limit it to record-like notions, and import/export lists, then we don't have to deal with conflicts with TupleSections and while it is inconsistent to have tuples behave differently, than other comma-separated lists, I'd really rather retain tuple sections, which I use somewhat heavily, than lose them to mindless uniformity over how we handle comma-separated lists. I'm implementing it for things where I 100% subjectively feel it makes sense. This does *not* include tuples, for the reason you mention.
When I get the time, I will make a Wiki page outlining what I'm changing and my motivation for doing it. We can then have a discussion about where to draw the line. I need to figure out a more elegant solution than tweaking the parser for each individual item. If someone knows their way around this code, please talk to me on IRC/SIP/XMPP/whatever. Just email me for contact info. I'll be busy today with a haskell workshop, but I plan on spending the rest of the week on this business. - -- Alexander alexander@plaimi.net https://secure.plaimi.net/~alexander -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iF4EAREIAAYFAlQinw4ACgkQRtClrXBQc7VL4gD6Ao12HqH1Mjl30n/1Mwlby7W6 /2+JeUOF9ui959xh1QkBAIdTA6km9gDvgCQ1nBQ5juZFNF79C1Fezk2yEpOvF7Fe =l/sh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
