 Are we okay with examples in the GHC user guide uses language extensions?

 The documentation has [https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/master/users-
 guide/glasgow_exts.html#record-constructors this code]

 {{{#!hs
 inc :: Counter a -> Counter a
 inc (NewCounter x i d t) = NewCounter
     { _this = i x, _inc = i, _display = d, tag = t }
 }}}

 which could be written

 {{{#!hs
 inc :: Counter a -> Counter a
 inc NewCounter{..} = NewCounter{ _this = _inc _this, .. }
 }}}

 if we're okay with that tradeoff.
