Hello,

I'd like to propose that we reject that NoIfThenElse proposal (#44). In short, it suggests that we remove the syntactic sugar for `if-then-else` and leave to programmers to define their own version as a function.

I think that this has virtually no benefits and many draw-backs, including breaking existing code, and making programs more difficult to read.

Would there be any objections if I was to mark this as rejected, and close the request?

proceduraly, this is not required. This proposal never made it out of the discussion phase, and is actually “dormant” right now (together with plenty of other proposals that never made it out of the discussion procedure). While everyone is free to voice their opinions on such proposals, the comment section on the pull request is more appropriate for that. Likely, the author might eventually withdraws the proposal. Note that dormant proposals do not even show up in the “List of proposals under discussion” linked from https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals. If you are curious what actually is on the committee’s plate right now, this would be the following.
