Rationale: These are all stable extensions. With the exception of MonoLocalBinds, none of these affect any existing programs. And for MonoLocalBinds, we've been traveling in the direction of it for a long time -- let's arrive. My understanding is that this change won't affect any package whose cabal file declares a default-language. If that's wrong, then I withdraw the suggestion; I would not want this to be backward-incompatible with released packages. Richard
