RE: StricterLabelledFieldSyntax

Hi all,

I've made a ticket and proposal page for making the labelled field syntax stricter, e.g. making this illegal:

data A = A {x :: Int}

y :: Maybe A y = Just A {x = 5}

+1: The precedence here is an ugly wart. It's particularly annoying when teaching Haskell syntax to newbies; the simple rule "juxtaposition binds tighter than everything else" doesn't quite work.
