| What's the status of the TDNR proposal [1]? Personally I think it is a | very good idea and I'd like to see it in Haskell'/GHC rather sooner | than later. Working around the limitations of the current record | system is one of my biggest pain points in Haskell and TDNR would be a | major improvement. Thus I wonder if someone is actively working on | this proposal?
It's stalled. As far as I know, there's been very little discussion about it. It's not a trivial thing to implement, and it treads on delicate territory (how "." is treated). So I'd need to be convinced there was a strong constituency who really wanted it before adding it.
I've added an informal straw poll to the bottom of [1] to allow you to express an opinion.
And how I love expressing my opinion :-P. I would if only I could figure out how to edit the page! Am I being dense? (Yes, I am logged in) Luke
Also I'm not very happy with the "stacking operations" part, and I'd like a better idea.
