It's worth mentioning that you can almost directly simulate the desired syntax here using record wildcards: ...
Indeed. This pattern is the one and only time I've made profitable use of record wildcards. In general, I think this one isn't quite worth its weight. But, @Iceland_jack, I encourage you to use the ghc-proposals process for ideas like this, as it's now the official place for the community to weigh in on new language ideas. Posting to Trac reaches a smaller subset of the community. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12376#comment:8 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
