I hadn't seen anyone with this particular concern, so: The page says "Using qualified names works, but it is just sufficiently inconvenient that people don't use it much", with which I disagree. Since I use qualified names, it seems like I wouldn't be able to use TDNR without compromising. So it introduces an unpleasant tension. I don't think we should introduce major features that require a certain style. I would indeed love a shorter way to get record fields, but surely there is a simpler way? I am still hoping one of the "real record system" proposals is implemented, but this would really be the nail in the coffin for them.
I added my opinion to the wiki as well... _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
