For people like Lennart, perhaps the correct answer is a compiler flag that enumerates the extensions used as a warning. The warning should be enough to help him keep the extensions to a minimum.

I'm very much in favor of listing the exact extensions used in each file, because I try to keep them to a minimum. I would like to see a LANGUAGE Haskell' which includes the things that are likely to be in Haskell' (if there is ever a Haskell').

    I'm fine with that as well.  I'm just opposed to being force to look up
    the precise names the compiler happens to use for each language
    extension I happen to use.  Having -fglasgow-exts turned on by default
    also works.
