Re: [ghc-steering-committee] Please review #366: DuplicateRecordFields without ambiguous field access, Shepherd: Tom Harding

I agree that the current behavior is often unintuitive and would be better supported by RecordDotSyntax. On Wed, Nov 4, 2020, at 10:27, Simon Peyton Jones via ghc-steering-committee wrote:

As I say on the discussion thread, I’m strongly in favour.

Hi all,

I’d like to open committee discussion for *DuplicateRecordFields without ambiguous field access*. Other committee members have already commented, and I’ll say I’m strongly in favour of this proposal. I definitely see the suggestion here as “tidying up” an unintuitive - perhaps even counterintuitive - behaviour.

PS. Sorry for my recent absence; I think it has been a very strange few months for all us!
