[ghc-steering-committee] Record syntax

[Spiwack, Arnaud]

I’m rather uncomfortable with (1), for reasons mentioned by others before:
it prevents cutting a sequence of .field with a newline.

I’m agnostic between (2) and (3).

I’m fine with a vote, but even more fine with Simon just choosing for
everybody else :) .
