Package: ghc6
Version: 6.8.2-7
Severity: wishlist
Consider cases like this:
let foo = (
value1,
value2,
value3
)
Adding a new field to this requires adding a comma to the last item.
Removing the last field from this requires removing the comma from the
preceding line. To make this easier, why not allow a trailing comma:
let foo = (
value1,
value2,
value3,
)
With this syntax, adding and removing fields does not require changing
other lines. This makes it easier to get the syntax right, and avoids
noise in diffs.
The same argument applies to tuples, lists, module import/export lists,
deriving clauses, and any other comma-separated syntax.
