Fine with me! We need people to update TH. We plan to release 7.8 in mid Feb, and then have a TH upheaval shortly thereafter (I hope). So let’s put this in afterwards.

I was just doing some work with Template Haskell and I noticed that the AST does not have support for record puns and wild-cards. I know that these could be desugared into ordinary record patterns but I think that it would be more convenient for users (and also more consistent with the rest of the AST) if we provided direct support for them. So I propose to change: type FieldPat = (Name, Pat) to data FieldPat = RecordFileldP Name Pat -- x = P | RecordPunP Name -- x | RecordWildP -- .. Would there be any objections to doing so? If not, I'd be happy to have a go at making the change. -Iavor
