 Replying to [comment:7 ezyang]:

 syntax here using record wildcards: ...

 Indeed. This pattern is the one and only time I've made profitable use of
 record wildcards.

 In general, I think this one isn't quite worth its weight. But,
 @Iceland_jack, I encourage you to use the ghc-proposals process for ideas
 like this, as it's now the official place for the community to weigh in on
 new language ideas. Posting to Trac reaches a smaller subset of the
 community.
