OK So I've made the changes that I got replies about.
hunk ./Distribution/Misc.hs 82
- | RankTwoTypes
+ | RankNTypes
hunk ./Distribution/Misc.hs 85
- | PatternTypeAnnotations
+ | ScopedTypeVariables
hunk ./Distribution/Misc.hs 101
+ | NamedFieldPuns
hunk ./Distribution/Misc.hs 106
- | HoodDebugging
I removed HoodDebugging since it's just a library and not really an
extension in NHC, and since it's not accessable via source code in
Hugs...

My only comment is that some of the extensions you've formalised are probably a bit too experimental or GHC-specific to be included in the general Extension type. I'd leave out InlinePhase for one. (snip)
I think we'll leave them in; they don't take up much space, and if people use them and they go away, then we can possibly detect when they're build-depending on a particular version of GHC, and output a warning if they're code starts using this deprecated feature. Otherwise, people will just use the "options-ghc" field and we won't be able to notice them. peace, isaac
