Comment:

 OK fine.  Making `-fdicts-strict` work properly is on my radar anyway, and
 it should not be hard to make it a dynamic flag.  But I'm really busy at
 the moment with the new typechecker, and this dicts-strict stuff is not a
 show-stopper for anyone, so it won't happen right away.

 Simon
