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 can see the thinking here, but I don't like for the language to try to enforce 'style' or make decisions based on it. I think it is more in the spirit of haskell to provide multiple mechanisms when it makes sense and let the users figure out what works for them stylistically.
