There have been a few extensions since then, described in these papers:

http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/simonpj/papers/ext-f/

Also, if you're interested in the gory details of what GHC *really*
implements, as opposed to the sanitized academic version, Richard
Eisenberg put together a nice description of Core that you can find in
the GHC repository:

https://github.com/ghc/ghc/blob/master/docs/core-spec/core-spec.pdf?raw=true

Hope this helps,

Adam
