[Hugs-users] Record puns, time for removal?

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

| There was some discussion on the haskell' list about bring back
| record puns, which were once in ghc.
| 
| Record punning would have been very helpful on one of my recent
| projects, where I had some large arrays of statically initialized
| records.
| The longFieldSelectorNamesToAvoidNamespaceClashes are just
| noise is such a case.

I always thought it was a mistake to remove record puns in H98.  I would
not be against re-introducing them into GHC, since they appear to remain
in Hugs and are in Yhc.
