Comment(by morabbin):
I don't think that the fact that [http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-
prime/wiki/StricterLabelledFieldSyntax the GHC variant] wasn't voted
suprem justifies making what is really just a cosmetic change. The case
for change is pretty weak, since the GHC variant (with parens) is not at
all ambiguous (clarity is next to godliness, etc,), and is semantically
equivalent to the Hugs/Haskell 98 variant. Close as wontfix, I say!
