I always thought it was a mistake to remove record puns in H98. I would not be against re-introducing them into GHC, since they appear to remain in Hugs and are in Yhc.
yes. jhc has them too and I wish ghc did.
puns like Foo { .. } would be great too.
I'd vote for enabling them with a command line switch, rather than by default, as they can be confusing to folks learning the language. Seth
I made this page on the wiki to record fixes to the record system:

most would be pretty straightforward to implement.
