Comment:
I think that totally implicit view patterns, as suggested by the original
poster, is probably a bad idea. Are tickets left open for feature
suggestions that the GHC developers don't consider to be a good idea? It
gives the impression that the GHC team supports the feature, and if the
idea really is a bad one, then the bug will be open forever.
I do think the signalled view patterns would be quite nice - I've written
up my thoughts on view patterns here:
