<a href="https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/604" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/604</a><br>
proposes an amendment to #448.<br>
<br>
I’ll shepherd this myself.<br>
<br>
Status Quo:<br>
  ScopedTypeVariables implies TypeAbstractions.<br>
New behavior:<br>
  TypeAbstractions needs to be enabled explicitly.<br>
  (Plus, as a compat feature, ScopedTypeVariables&TypeApplications <br>
  enable TypeAbstractions, with a deprecation warning upon use.)<br>
<br>
<br>
John makes a good argument that it’s odd to expand the meaning of an<br>
existing extension like ScopedTypeVariables without need, and the<br>
proposed way sounds good to me, so I recommend to accept this.<br>
<br>
<br>
This is a minor change and would be good to have clarity soon. If no<br>
discussion happens, I’ll merge in a week. I am particularly keen on<br>
feedback from Richard (original author) and Arnaud (original shepherd),<br>
of course.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
