What?!  The only significant complaint I've seen here is that the necessary
language support for doing so without breaking more or less every Haskell
program currently in existence is difficult to achieve.

On the other hand, I suppose if you're sufficiently fanatical, breaking
more or less every Haskell program currently in existence might be viewed
as a minor issue that you think nobody has any right to be upset about.
