I agree with Malcolm, with the possible addition of:
keep -fglasgow-exts as it is (or, even, perhaps continue making it the "add all extensions keyword). also have -fffi, -farrows, -fth, etc. but also have, -fnoth and -fnoffi. that way, if a lot of us have code that uses all the extensions other than TH and have lots of code that looks like (foo$bar), we can just to -fglasgow-exts -fnoth.
seems to be a win-win.
I agree; I want a catch-all flag, but I also want to flexibility to be able to pick and choose. Both -f<feature> and -fno<feature> is the way to go IMHO.
Ok, I've added -fth and -fimplicit-params (and the appropriate -fno- forms). The -fglasgow-exts flag will continue to imply these for the time being, so nothing should break. Cheers, Simon
