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.
I agree with Ian.
I tend to agree. I don't mind if a few files that use a ton of label-operations are marked with NamedFieldPuns and use that feature a lot. But, funnily, if it were put in the standard then it would be enabled in un-marked source files, and then I personally wouldn't like it as much. (Any decision is acceptable to me though.) -Isaac
