It makes it a *lot* more involved. And your reasoning of "hey, it doesn't break anything" was that of my own.
Staring at the parser code this morning I've decided that if there's a pragma, I will add a Wiki page and Trac ticket and have everyone vote on what they want to go in, and then make *one* commit, "Add ExtraCommas" that does it all. It will be a gigantic mess to do it in small commits. - -- Alexander alexan...@plaimi.net https://secure.plaimi.net/~alexander -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iF4EAREIAAYFAlQhKeYACgkQRtClrXBQc7U4twD8D/Z1Ae0AeBlmALwCj/UMbeJH Oa8d535Ce3qzyrU68xgBAJnjJJOYT2IScsfMiUDv7cwRGQisPBujHIedohmFUjT3 =WtsL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs
