Comment (by simonmar):
This was controversial when it was brought up for Haskell'. I can't find
any discussion online, but the committee [http://hackage.haskell.org/trac
/haskell-prime/wiki/StrawPoll-2 straw poll] shows that the majority were
against it. This doesn't necessarily mean that people disliked the
extension: it's more likely because in Haskell prime we were/are more
concerned with standardising existing extensions than inventing new ones.
Personally, I'd like to see this go into GHC. I don't think it does any
harm, it's easy to explain, and it's often very useful.
