Mutable constructor fields

Hello, I am not sure what's the process for this, but I am really keen on Simon M's "Mutable constructor fields" proposal ( https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/8), so I'd like to propose that we adopt it. I'd be happy to volunteer time to work on the implementation too, if there's need for that. -Iavor

it should be labeled as “under review discussion”, ideally by the author if the author thinks it is ready for that.

I haven't been pushing this forwards mainly because I don't have the
bandwidth myself to work on the implementation, but if someone else is able
to do that, that would be great.
There are some details of the spec to iron out. One is a syntactic
decision - whether to use a new keyword "mutable" to indicate mutable
fields or not - I'll request comments on the proposal. There are other
details of the spec to iron out related to the implementation, but I think
it'll be easier to work through those by starting on a prototype.
Cheers

I'm keen to be an early user and tester of this when the implementation
work gets underway. Of course, given their interest in this topic Ryan
Yates and Ed Kmett are also likely consumers.
