Comment (by svenpanne):
Hmmm, can we have a fix for this ''before'' the final 8.0.1 comes out?
Otherwise things are a bit chaotic: We introduce the new -W form (and new
warnings), only to have some of those -Wfoo renamed immediately
afterwards, leading to even more CPP magic in projects. The short form of
the changes, just for reference:
* Use "sigs" or "signatures" consistently (doesn't really matter which
one)
* Use "pattern-synonyms", not "pat-syn"
Currently e.g. the `half` package doesn't work with the GHC 8 series
because of the ad-hoc naming changes of `-fno-warn-missing-pat-syn-sigs`
(which is called `-Wno-missing-pat-syn-signatures` currently, but will be
`-Wno-missing-pattern-synonym-signatures` or `-Wno-missing-pattern-
synonym-sigs`, who knows...?).
