I'm not clear on what you're doing there (I don't recognize your snippet),
but extensions are enabled as options:

  -X EXTENSION   --extension=EXTENSION    Pass additional flags enabling
extensions just like you would to ghc. Example: -XViewPatterns

So for example:

    $ mueval -e "let f (id -> x) = x in f 1" -XViewPatterns
     1
    $ mueval -e "let f (id -> x) = x in f 1" -XMultiParamTypeClasses
     Illegal view pattern:  id -> x
     Use -XViewPatterns to enable view patterns
