Hello,

I'm wondering why the trailing comma is allowed in export syntax, but not in record syntax, here an example
module Foo (
    export1, -- is allowed
) where

data Type = Type {
    record1 :: Foo, -- is not allowed
}

To me this seems quite inconsistent and sometimes quite frustrating, imagine the case that you want to temporarily remove the last record:
data Type = Type {
    record1 :: Foo,
--    record2 :: Bar
}
this would fail due to an extra comma that has to be commented out.

You could of course say that I'm using a bad style, but it remains that it seems to be inconsistent to allow a trailing comma in one place and not in the other. So is there an reason for this?
