Honestly, if we trust that ~45% of active Haskell programmers use
BlockArgument, then I'd say it's a pretty convincing argument to include
it. I'm absolutely not intent on using it (in fact, the mere existence of
BlockArgument is a little baffling to me), but turning it on doesn't force
me to use it. So if 50% of Haskellers care enough to actively turn on the
extension, I think we can consider it a pretty compelling reason to have
BlockArgument by default.
