Not a problem; if you guys come up with a proposal and implement it,
we'll add the appropriate flag to GHC.
I think the right way to do it would be to put the code for the
"advanced prelude" in a separate package. The package could be used to
provide a replacement prelude (say with -fadvanced-prelude), or it could
be used on its own (say with -package advancedprelude), to just use it
as a library without changing the existing prelude.
Cheers,
