Clearly, this new syntax won't be available by default when only

  {-# LANGUAGE Haskell2010 #-}

is active. So I assume this is going to be a new language extension
enabled by a new to-be-named LANGUAGE-pragma (and if it stands the test
of time, be enabled by default in, say {-# LANGUAGE Haskell2020 #-})? If
so, why is it a concern if there's code breakage, as this new syntax
will be an explicit opt-in?
