same here. My impression is that they have become common place in a few
languages now, and there is no reason not to have them in Haskell as
well.

THB, if this was a pubquiz I’d have lost a point by guessing that it’s
already part of GHC2021.

Ah, no, I do win the points: They are in GHC2021 according to
https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/latest/docs/users_guide/exts/control.html#extension-GHC2021

Cheers,
Joachim
