[Haskell-cafe] Build regressions due to GHC 7.6

[Alexander Bernauer]

Hi

I agree that automatic code migration can solve this issue in large
parts. The Python folks have done this to mitigate the transition from
version 2 to version 3 [1].

I don't think regular expressions are powerful enough. This example
does not match on hiding multiple names, for instance.

But writing proper 'HsModule -> HsModule' functions should be doable.

And when each release comes with a bunch of such functions, packages
could be automatically migrated.

Greetings

Alex
