Fine with me!  We need people to update TH.

We plan to release 7.8 in mid Feb, and then have a TH upheaval shortly 
thereafter (I hope). So let’s put this in afterwards.

Subject: Proposal to extend FieldPat in Template Haskell

Hello,
(sorry for the repost, I forgot to add a subject.)

I was just doing some work with Template Haskell and I noticed that the AST 
does not have support for record puns and wild-cards.  I know that these could 
be desugared into ordinary record patterns but I think that it would be more 
convenient for users (and also more consistent with the rest of the AST) if we 
provided direct support for them.

So I propose to change:

type FieldPat = (Name, Pat)

to

data FieldPat = RecordFileldP Name Pat  -- x = P
              | RecordPunP Name         -- x
              | RecordWildP             -- ..

Would there be any objections to doing so?  If not, I'd be happy to have a go 
at making the change.

-Iavor
