Or is it users who don't want to let a GHC monoculture set the standard and would prefer to work with a smaller subset of the language, but still want to have access to the ecosystem of packages through cabal? Folks who may have other compilers in mind, who would prefer to implement against a standard or at least have the ability to have their code compile against a compiler that implements the standard.
This is me. My primary use of the haskell2010 package is to test my code against it, as well as base, in order to check that it is more likely to work on a standards-conformant Haskell implementation. To that end, I would prefer it if haskell2010 were basically just cut-n-paste the code from the report and be done with it. This would mean a different Monad instance, which I gather might cause some complexity for `do` notation (though will it really? GHC already has rebindable do, it seems like this would just be a special case of that). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9590#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
