and perhaps use emacs to query-replace all the Foo1's back to Foo's
At least this bit can be avoided easily enough, by using module qualification during the conversion process. module Original (Foo(..)) where data Foo = Foo { ... y :: Int } deriving ... module New (Foo(..)) where data Foo = Foo { ... y, z :: Int } deriving ... module Convert where import Original as Old import New as New newFoo :: Old.Foo -> New.Foo newFoo old{..} = New.Foo { a=a, b=b, ... z=1 } Finally rename module New.
