I asked this on IRC and didn't hear a lot of opposition, so as the next step I'd like to ask ghc-devs. I literally never need the details on uniques that we currently print by default. I either don't care about variables too much (when not comparing the output with some other output), or I need -dsuppress-uniques (when comparing outputs). The problem is I have to remember to add -dsuppress-uniques if I'm going to compare the outputs, and if I decide to compare outputs after the fact I need to re-generate them with -dsuppress-uniques. This takes time and effort. If you're also of the same opinion I suggest making -dsuppress-uniques default, and providing a -dno-suppress-uniques (if it doesn't already exist). Ömer
