For the record(!) it also suppresses record syntax in ordinary data declarations. So it 'solves' the namespacing issue by not allowing field names at all. No curly brackets, no field names nowhere!

Thank you Simon and Ian (and apologies for first posting to the Haskell list).
So I'll upgrade to 7.4, and play with it.
And post a ticket for the more modest idea of suppressing the (monomorphic)
field selector function.

RE: ANNOUNCE: GHC version 7.2.1 - {-# LANGUAGE NoTraditionalRecordSyntax #-}
ghci -XNoTraditionalRecordSyntax does not complain of unsupported extensions
for me.
The flag appears to just disable record construction and update syntax, and
record patterns, and record syntax in GADT declarations. It has probably never
been used.

At the request of the Haskell Platform folks, we are shipping the Data Parallel Haskell libraries separately from GHC (i.e., they are not bundled in the GHC distribution, nor will they be bundled in any Haskell Platform distribution). To use DPH with GHC 7.2.1, you need to install the DPH libraries separately from Hackage — for details, see http://pls.posterous.com/data-parallel-haskell-and-repa-for-ghc-721 Manuel Ian Lynagh: > > = >The (Interactive) Glasgow Haskell Compiler -- version 7.2.1 > = > > The GHC Team is pleased to announce a new major release of GHC, 7.2.1. > > The 7.2 branch is intended to be more of a "technology preview" than > normal GHC stable branches; in particular, it supports a significantly > improved version of DPH, as well as new features such as compiler > plugins and "safe Haskell".

ANNOUNCE: GHC version 7.2.1
= The (Interactive) Glasgow Haskell Compiler -- version 7.2.1 = The GHC Team is pleased to announce a new major release of GHC, 7.2.1. The 7.2 branch is intended to be more of a "technology preview" than normal GHC stable branches; in particular, it supports a significantly improved version of DPH, as well as new features such as compiler plugins and "safe Haskell". The design of these new features may evolve as we get more experience with them. See the release notes for more details of what's new and what's changed. We are also using this branch as an opportunity to work out the best workflows to use with git. We expect the 7.2 branch to be short-lived, with 7.4.1 coming out shortly after ICFP as normal.

Packages will appear as they are built - if the package for your system isn't available yet, please try again later. Background ~~ Haskell is a standard lazy functional programming language. GHC is a state-of-the-art programming suite for Haskell. Included is an optimising compiler generating good code for a variety of platforms, together with an interactive system for convenient, quick development. The distribution includes space and time profiling facilities, a large collection of libraries, and support for various language extensions, including concurrency, exceptions, and foreign language interfaces (C, whatever). GHC is distributed under a BSD-style open source license. A wide variety of Haskell related resources (tutorials, libraries, specifications, documentation, compilers, interpreters, references, contact information, links to research groups) are available from the Haskell home page (see below).
