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).

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. Tom
