A strong -1 from me for the exact same reasons given 2 years ago: https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2017-March/027883.html Nothing has changed since then, we don't even have a warning flag yet (see #11796). Just 2 remarks: * "Doesn't break existing code" is an invalid argument: Removing e.g. type checking won't break existing code, either, but this is probably not a worthy goal. And the proposal goes a step towards removing type checking in a very subtle way. * I am not sure if consistent nonsense is better than partial nonsense. :-/ (For a weaker formulation: sed 's/nonsense/surprising behavior/g')
