Comment (by Isaac Dupree):
Replying to [comment:5 duncan]:
> This feature request is not about distinguishing strictness in types as
the above would indicate. It's about changing the strictness and data
representation of data type constructors that have higher order
components.
I don't know what this feature request is "about". But I'll note that some
people do want strictness in types other than data declarations, for
example, http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.cafe/34857
also my comment about GADT syntax is #1768
