Indeed, I think this is a very important point, and one of the reasons I'd
like to see Haskell 06 come out with a reasonable set of extensions that
are known to work together well.  I've gone down this path before, adding
extension after extension, and it just leads to more and more
confusion--since I don't understand what the extensions do, or how they
change the language!
