Comment:

 Task for a newcomer.

 `testsuite/tests/driver/T4437.hs` currently contains:

 {{{
  expectedGhcOnlyExtensions :: [String]
  expectedGhcOnlyExtensions = ["RelaxedLayout",
                               "AlternativeLayoutRule",
                               "AlternativeLayoutRuleTransitional",
                               "StaticPointers",
                               "StrictData"]
 }}}
 The last 2 extensions should be registered with Cabal. Submit a pull
 request to https://github.com/haskell/Cabal/pulls.

 I don't know what the first 3 are about, they are not listed on
 https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/flag-
 reference.html. Try to find out if they can be deleted.
