It's not an implementor's place to make such decisions -- they can legitimately say "this feature sucks" and tell the next Haskell committee so. If they care enough about it, they can lobby or get on that next committee, but the arguments for n+k patterns /in Haskell98/ were done long ago.
if you really believe in that you said, you can spend your own time adding its support :) i never seen n+k patterns in real code so i understand developers that don't want to waste time just to compliant standard even if their efforts will be never really used -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
