Extensible Records

[Seth Kurtzberg]

6.10? I think that's a typo as the current version is 6.8.1.  Or did I
misunderstand what you were saying?

Subject: Extensible Records

Is there any chance of seeing extensible records in GHC 6.10? There seems to
be widespread agreement that the current 
situation is unacceptable, but the official GHC policy is that there are too
many good ideas to choose from - so nothing 
gets done! I hence humble propose that
http://www.cs.uu.nl/~daan/download/papers/scopedlabels.pdf be adapted to
GHC. In 
my naivete, I assume that porting an existing implementation would be much
easier than starting from scratch. Is this 
reasonable?

N.B. I am aware that GHC has limited resources - many thanks to Simon &
Simon and all other contributors either way.
