   <>After some thought, I find myself with a similar view to John. Strict
   <>tuples are starting to feel like real language bloat, one tiny
   addition
   <>too much.
   <>
   <>Remember, every addition we make to the core syntax is multiplied
   by all
   <>the parsers for Haskell and tools that have to grok Haskell, and make
   <>the bar ever-so-slightly higher to producing such tools. There's a
   <>reason that syntax ends in "tax" :-)
   <>

Not to mention all the brains that have to learn it. It seems to me the
gain is small, considering how easy it is to do already.

   <>By all means have strict tuples in a library somewhere. They don't
   need
   <>to have special syntax.
   <>

Agreed.

John
