So, again, for this particular "extension" I suggest that the layout rule in the standard(s) should be revised -- if I'm mistaken, this will not break other programs.
You've convinced me. The benefit from "fixing" GHC in this case is outweighed by the cost, I think we should revert the change (or at least enable RelaxedLayout by default), and propose the change for Haskell 2011/2012. Ian, Simon, what do you think?
You mean NondecreasingIndentation, right? (RelaxedLayout only makes a difference with explicit braces). NondecreasingIndentation is already on by default; are you suggesting we also add it to Haskell98 and Haskell2010? Thanks Ian
