Comment:

 Btw, this also affects how GHCi displays results:

 {{{
 GHCi, version 8.0.0.20160204: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
 Loaded GHCi configuration from /home/hvr/.ghci

 λ:1> data T = C { f1, f2 :: () } deriving Show
 data T = C {f1 :: (), f2 :: ()}
 f1 :: T -> ()
 f2 :: T -> ()

 λ:2> Just (C () ())
 Just C {f1 = (), f2 = ()}
 it :: Maybe T

 λ:3>
 }}}
