Re: what about moving the record system to an addendum?

Well, without a replacement, it seems odd to remove it. Also, Haskell currently doesn't _have_ a record syntax (I think it was always a misnomer to call it that) it has 'labeled fields'. None of the proposed record syntaxes fit the same niche as labeled fields so I don't see them going away even if a record syntax is added to haskell in the future. I would like to see the simple modifications to the record syntax listed on this page though http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-prime/wiki/ExistingRecords and a reworking of the standard to not refer to the current system as a 'record syntax' but rather a 'labeled fields' syntax.
