[ghc-steering-committee] As patterns in pattern synonyms (#94), Recommendation: accept

[Joachim Breitner]

Dear Committee,

this is your secretary speaking:

As patterns in pattern synonyms, by Richard.
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/94
rendered at
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/as-pattern-synonyms/AsPatternSynonyms.rst

I’ll shepherd that myself.

This proposal removes restrictions on what can be used in
unidirectional pattern synonyms, where @-pattern were previously
disallowed. The restriction would make sense if patterns synonyms are
macros, but they are not. I am always in favor of removing special
cases and restrictions, so I recommend to accept this proposal.

Thanks,
Joachim
