I'd like to propose that we add record punning to Haskell 2011.
Thoughts, objections, suggestions?
I have a feeling I'm in the minority, but I find record punning an ugly feature. Given data T = C { f :: Int } we implicitly get f :: T -> Int which punning shadows with f :: Int whereas I generally avoid shadowing completely. Thanks Ian
