Replying to [comment:9 singpolyma]:
> Isn't this already needed for RebindableSyntax? Is this not a special
case of that, or it more different than I think?
Here's some sketchy idea I also wrote in a reddit comment about an
hypothetical `RebindableSyntax`-variant called `ExportedRebindedSyntax`
(modulo bikeshed):
- Code using a non-default Prelude (like e.g. `haskell2010` or
`haskell98`) shall just need to hide the `base` package and bring
`haskell2010` into scope
- Particularly, code importing that non-default Prelude shall not need to
enable any language extensions
- The non-default Prelude module would rebind all syntax elements like
with `RebindableSyntax`, but it would only export the desugaring rules,
but does not need to export the symbols such as `IfThenElse` the
desugaring rules are bound to for client code to work
- If a module `X` directly or indirectly imports a Prelude module using
the `ExportedRebindedSyntax` extension, it inherits the desugaring rules,
and exports them to other modules that import that module `X`. It would be
illegal to have conflicting desugaring rules brought into scope (c.f.
conflicting typeclass instances being an error)
