Btw, I have no idea why EmptyDataDecls keeps getting proposed for
inclusion in the next report: `EmptyDataDecls` is one of the extensions
that went into Haskell2010! :-)
To quote Haskell2010, Ch. 12:

There's actually a few more deltas to H98 (like e.g. DoAndIfThenElse), so
{-# LANGUAGE Haskell2010 #-}
is not equivalent to
{-# LANGUAGE Haskell98,
PatternGuards, NoNPlusKPatterns, RelaxedPolyRec,
EmptyDataDecls, ForeignFunctionInterface #-}
But surprisingly this kind of information seems hard to find in the
H2010 report.
