 > Are you aware of the possibility of specifying extensions in package's
 `.cabal` file?

 Yes, but I don't think that addresses the same issues that my proposal
 does.

 Replying to [comment:1 jstolarek]:
 > Personally I don't like the idea of having extensions automatically (and
 implicitly) enabled without my knowledge just because I imported a module.

 It wouldn't be automatically enabled. It would just be available for use;
 you'd still have to write
 {{{
 {-# LANGUAGE PedrosHaskell #-}
 }}}
