[ghc-steering-committee] Please review #366: DuplicateRecordFields without ambiguous field access, Shepherd: Tom Harding

[Spiwack, Arnaud]

I have no strong opinion about this proposal, although removing code is
always good.

I find the argument about pattern synonyms convincing, however. And the
idea of using `RecordDotSyntax` and type classes to sort type-oriented
disambiguation out is certainly appealing.

So take my vote as a soft yes.
