Actually the rules referenced appear immediately above, so no reference is
necessary.
My original message was not suggesting a change to the report (though I
don't know that I agree with it -- i can see arguments in each
direction): I was primarily pointing out an infelicity in GHCs
implementation...
Out of curiousity, it's a bit strange that
> data D = D !Int
> myD = D {}
in invalid, but
> newtype N = N !Int
> myN = N {}
is not.
Not that I'm proposing a change...I just think it's od..
