Ticket #3356 claims that {-# LANGUAGE NoTraditionalRecordSyntax #-} was
implemented in 7.2.1.
But GHCi v7.2.1 complains "Unsupported extension: NoTraditionalRecordSyntax".
What (if anything) actually got implemented?
I ask because I'd like to raise a ticket for
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Records/DeclaredOverloadedRecordFields
/NoMonoRecordFields -- that is, to enable declaring within the same module
multiple record types with the same field name.
Of course it will also help when declaring the same field name in different
(but imported) modules.
Avoiding generating the (monomorphic) field selector function goes a little
way towards freeing up the namespace, without in any way pre-judging how
the 'narrow namespace issue' might get addressed.
