Nevertheless, patchy and ad-hoc solutions are sometimes very convenient. I certainly agree that messages of the form "bad programmer, you clearly meant X but you didn't *write* X; so go write X and then I'll compile your program" are tiresome.
not the style of ghc at all, but it could be less _tiresome_ if it asks "do you want me to add that to the file's language pragma?" (which would make sense as an IDE's job, if we ever end up with one, I suppose) Isaac
