Hi, the lazy unboxed tuples proposal ( https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/35) was under discussion for a long period of time (more than a year and a half since submission). As a shepherd to this proposal I recommend rejection based on the following: * there is no clearly articulated motivation in favor of this proposal despite complying with the Manual; * implementing this would lead to hard-to-trace performance issues in the users code (due to move from strictness in current GHC behaviour to laziness); * it looks like the change (B) of the proposal (warn an unbanged strict patterns) meets no complains, so it is better to be resubmitted as a separate proposal; * if resubmitted separately the change (A) should elaborate on desugaring to make potential performance drawbacks clear; * it seems (maybe mistakenly) that the author has lost his interest in this proposal. Although silence is undestood as agreement, I'd be glad to receive a feedback on this recommendation. Regards, Vitaly
