[ghc-steering-committee] GHC 2020

[Iavor Diatchki]

Hello,

I just had some fun and went through the list of GHC extensions in the
manual, thinking of which ones might make a reasonable subset for a
potential GHC2020.  Below is the list I came up with.  My reasoning was,
roughy:
   * I wouldn't mind if these were on all the time
   * It is unlikely that turning on the extension will break something
dramatically
   * It is unlikely that using the extension might lead to errors
   * The extensions are somewhat coherent
   * I explicitly included extensions that I personally don't use much, but
I've heard that others like

I wonder what others think of this list?  What would you add/remove?
