Re: Are there GHC extensions we'd like to incorporate wholesale?

One objective would be to compile the Haskel Platform with near zero extensions.

I would hope that means that the platform will lean on contributors to observe the new standard and curb exuberant use of extensions. It would be wrong to blindly accept a selected corpus of existing code as basis for a standard. (This is not to say that haskell prime should ignore the practices of outstanding packages.) Doug
