During hacking sessions I often find myself in the need of commenting out the first import /record
field/list element. With the proposed change I can just:
module A
( --a
, b
, c
) where ...
data A = A
{ --a :: Int
, b :: Int
, c :: Int
}
abc = [ --a
, b
, c
]
As things are now I am forced to edit the second line as well. (And when I'm uncommenting things I
need to edit the second line again). This is mostly irritating and that's why I think
implementing this proposal will be a Good Thing.
