Comment (by eflister):
not to be annoying, but i don't understand why it's not ok for ghc to
accept (with a warning) a SUPERSET of the official syntax. that doesn't
change the standard and it doesn't imply that any other compiler has to do
anything different. a warning would be the best user interaction -- "i
know what you meant to say, and i'm doing it, you should just know that
what you said isn't portable, and here's how to fix it. would you like me
to fix it for you?"
