I'd like to add one pattern to this list of removal candiates: k patterns, that is, numeric literals.

Wow! That's a mighty big thing to remove. For me personally that would cause endless trouble. I use k patterns all the time. (I'm happy to to see 'n+k' gone, because I never use them.) I don't even know how I'd try to motivate why they were removed to a casual Haskell user. "Some implementor was having trouble with k patterns in some tool so they are gone now"? Huh? Let's remove higher order functions too, they are tricky to implement. :) -- Lennart
