Hi,
I was just looking into Yhc and noticed that it supports record puns, for example the following code:
------ module Main where data Point = Point {x :: Int, y :: Int} main = print $ f $ Point 1 2 f (Point{x}) = x ------
Works fine in Yhc and Hugs, but not in GHC. Is this feature supported/encouraged or is it depreciated and scheduled for removal? I am tempted to remove this feature from Yhc since it seems no one uses it, and GHC doesn't know about it, but was wondering what the Hugs plans were for it first.
There was some discussion on the haskell' list about bring back record puns, which were once in ghc. Record punning would have been very helpful on one of my recent projects, where I had some large arrays of statically initialized records. The longFieldSelectorNamesToAvoidNamespaceClashes are just noise is such a case. Best Wishes, Greg
Thanks
