[ghc-steering-committee] Please review #652: Import shadowing

[Simon Peyton Jones]

This proposal seems totally reasonable. I


In a blizzard of email, we may not all remember that you are the
shepherd.   It's helpful to say something like

Dear GHC Steering Committee

I am the shepherd for
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/652
https://github.com/gergoerdi/ghc-proposals/blob/mu/import-shadowing/proposals/0000-import-shadowing.rst

In it, Gergo proposes to allow local binders to shadow names defined in
outer scopes.
[In a more complicated proposal you might like to say a bit more, and why
you like it; but this one is fairly simple.]

I recommend acceptance of the proposal as-is.  Please respond by Weds 7th
August.

This reminds us (a) that you are speaking as the shepherd, (b) gives us a
date to respond by, (c) conveys a clear recommendation.  (Of course choose
your own date.)

As shepherd you will remind us near your deadline, and guide us to a
conclusion.


All of this is general guidance for all shepherds!  I'm just using you as
an example .. I hope you don't mind.

thanks

Simon
