[ghc-steering-committee] Discussion on #214, Namespace specifiers

[Iavor Diatchki]

Hello,

let's have a discussion about proposal #214, Namespace specifiers.

https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/214

I believe our new process is to have the discussion on Github, so
please share your thoughts over there.

I am a bit unclear about the steps in the new process (even though I
voted for it :-), but as the shepherd I think I am supposed to make an
initial? recommendation.

If so, at the moment I am leaning towards a "reject":   I do think
that the proposal has identified a valid area for improvement, but I
don't quite like the currently proposed solution---I wrote some
comments on GIthub as to why.

Obviously, that's just my opinion, and the discussion would benefit
from more input from the committee.

Cheers,
-Iavor
