It is worth asking, then, if we should record these small aesthetic suggestions somewhere for consideration while designing the next major compatibility-breaking release of the Haskell specification (Haskell 2020 or what have you).
+1
Very much +1
I have to say, I'm very -1 on what sounds like a Perl 6 or Python 3
endeavor.  Small and incremental seems to demonstrably be the way to make
breaking changes.
My +1 was to keeping a record of small but breaking changes that, if made at
inception, would have benefitted what Haskell is now.  What anyone else
wants to *do* with such a record is up to them.
