Comment (by goldfire):
comment:3 requires that enabling one extension never disables another.
However, this is not true! `RebindableSyntax` implies `NoImplicitPrelude`.
Accordingly, `ImplicitPrelude` and `RebindableSyntax` do not commute. And,
earlier this summer, `TypeOperators` implied `NoStarIsType`. This feature
was removed because it made for a bad migration story, not because it
violated this principle.
My vote would be simply not to make any guarantees of this sort. It's not
hard for a tool to consult `DynFlags.impliedXFlags` and figure out what
reorderings are OK.
