[...] To this end I recommend the following,
* Someone propose a consistent vocabulary for warning flag names
* We keep -fwarn- flags as they are currently
* We keep the inconsistently named -W flags corresponding to these -fwarn- flags
* We add consistently named -W flags alongside these
* We set a timeline for deprecating the inconsistent flags
This plan looks perfect.
Sven, perhaps you would like to pick up this task?
Alas, I don't have many spare development cycles at the moment, especially given the relatively tight timeline for 8.0.1. I have just enough time to grumble about some GHC details on this list. ;-) More seriously, after Herbert's option survey my proposal is quite short: * Use "sigs" or "signatures" consistently (doesn't really matter which one) * Use "pattern-synonyms", not "pat-syn"
