Overloaded record fields

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

|  Exactly! (I did tell you so:
| http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Records/DeclaredOverloadedRecordFields/DotPostfix
|  billed as "optional syntactic sugar")

I confess that I had not fully taken in this suggestion; thank you for reminding me.  The last round exceeded my input bandwidth, and in any case I often need to be told things more than once.

Anyway, glad to hear what others think about the idea.
