I feel like I have way too much code of the form: changeGpart (C a b c d e f g h i) g' = C a b c d e f g' h i So, I got excited reading Simon and Mark's "Lightweight Extensible Records For Haskell" paper as a way to get rid of this cruft. I immediately started GHCi, typed {a="Hello world"}, and got an error. Is the feature described in the paper just a proposal or is there a switch somethere to enable it? Alternatively, perhaps this code is a common beginner mistake due to ignorance of the proper idiom... -Alex- _________________________________________________________________ S.
