Comment (by Fuuzetsu):

 I highly dislike {{{RecordWildCards}}} and find its usage at the top-level
 especially disgusting though I know some that would disagree.

 *Personally* I am happy to not have this mis-feature but would like to
 request that the change is documented in GHC docs in the section about the
 extension. If that's done, please feel free to close the ticket, thanks!
