Scope of committee (can we do *new* things?)

[Henrik Nilsson]

Hi all,

I too basically agree with Andres's points and Richard's summary.

But there are a fair few existing extensions, and they are
not all equally compelling or urgent.

(Just to exemplify, multi-parameter type classes (which in practice
necessitates functional dependencies or broadly equivalent
functionality) and GADTs have been mentioned to me as particularly
urgent a fair few times.)

So, with risk of stating the obvious, a bit of care is needed to
decide just which existing extensions should be at the top of the
agenda.

Best,

/Henrik
