Yes, but I don't think that addresses the same issues that my proposal does. Well, it address only one of them (avoiding copy-pastes).
It wouldn't be automatically enabled. It would just be available for use; you'd still have to write {{{ {-# LANGUAGE PedrosHaskell #-} }}} I see.
But wouldn't your proposal impose artificial dependencies between modules, where one module needs to import another just to use the LANGUAGE synonym? I imagine this could become a problem in some circumstances. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9642#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
