 Given
 {{{
 module A where
 data A = A { foo :: () } deriving Show
 }}}
 the following code is accepted
 {{{
 module Main where
 import qualified A
 foo = "foo"
 main = print $ A.A { foo = () }
 }}}
 albeit with a warning
 {{{
 B.hs:4:16: warning: [-Wmissing-fields]
     • Fields of ‘A.A’ not initialised: foo
 }}}
 Indeed the `foo = ()` is type-checked as if it were `A.foo = ()`
 but the `foo` field is actually not assigned. Evaluation gives
 {{{
 *Main> main
 A {foo = *** Exception: B.hs:4:16-31: Missing field in record construction
 foo
 }}}
 The code should be rejected outright?
