Replying to [comment:26 SamAnklesaria]:
> As there are many libraries that use `if` syntax where a polymorphic
function would not suffice, I've decided to make rebindable syntax only
accessible through a language extension flag (currently named
RebindableIfStatements).
I think it would be better to have a `RebindableSyntax` extension, and to
make the other rebindable syntaxes use it too, rather than
`NoImplicitPrelude`.
> While the function `ifThenElse` is a part of the Prelude regardless
It should probably be in `GHC.Exts` rather than `Prelude`, and might be
worth a library proposal to put it somewhere more public (Not sure where;
maybe `Data.Function`?).
