record matching syntax forensics

so I noticed DrIFT was generating code like f Foo{bar} = ... as seemingly a shorthand for f Foo{bar = bar} = ... which does not seem to work with current compilers. I fixed this in 2.0.2 but was curious why it was generating code like that in the first place. it appears to be illegal looking at the haskell report and I was uncertain who wrote the derive rules in the first place so thought I would ask here.
