Re: [ghc-steering-committee] Proposal #170: Uppercase OverloadedLabels, rec: accept

I'm on the fence. As you'll see on the GitHub trail, I wonder if this proposal doesn't go far enough. If we're going to generalize, let's go as far as we can. Richard

Hi all,

As a shepherd to the proposal #170, Uppercase OverloadedLabels (https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/170 https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/170) proposed by howtonotwin, I recommend acceptance.

It is proposed to allow the string after # (with -XOverloadedLabels) to start uppercase thus looking like a constructor name in addition to a variable name as we have now.

The proposal is clear, there are no known pitfalls. I suggest having two weeks for discussion. Silence is understood as an an agreement with this recommendation.
