I must say that requiring a language pragma makes the feature quite a bit more heavy weight. We're not changing the meaning of any existing programs, just allowing some new ones. One could argue that perhaps the HaskellXX standard might pick up this new pragma and thus making it unnecessary eventually, but the standardization process is dead (and even when it was alive, it was lagging actual practice enough that it was largely ignored.) It makes it a *lot* more involved. And your reasoning of "hey, it doesn't break anything" was that of my own.
Staring at the parser code this morning I've decided that if there's a pragma, I will add a Wiki page and Trac ticket and have everyone vote on what they want to go in, and then make *one* commit, "Add ExtraCommas" that does it all. It will be a gigantic mess to do it in small commits. - -- Alexander alexander@plaimi.net https://secure.plaimi.net/~alexander -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iF4EAREIAAYFAlQhKeYACgkQRtClrXBQc7U4twD8D/Z1Ae0AeBlmALwCj/UMbeJH Oa8d535Ce3qzyrU68xgBAJnjJJOYT2IScsfMiUDv7cwRGQisPBujHIedohmFUjT3 =WtsL -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
