I'm not ignoring TDNR so much as implementing an alternative solution to essentially the same problem, namely the desire to overload record field names. In fact, an earlier version of my proposal did suggest changing dot syntax, but quite a few people weren't keen on it, so the current plan is to leave dot alone for the time being. There is the possibility of treating [wiki:Records/DeclaredOverloadedRecordFields/DotPostfix dot as postfix function application]. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4479#comment:17> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
