This is an petty orthogonal design request, which is why it wasn't part of
Adam's project.
However I could imagine some pretty puzzled users. ("I imported module M, which
defines a type T with field f, but GHC says 'f is not in scope'". Turns out
that M was compiled (via a command-line option) with -XNoRecordSelectors.)
I don't really buy it, but I don't massively object either, if someone wants to
offer a patch.
