[Hugs-users] Record puns, time for removal?

It sounds like functional dependencies are also going to be temporary
feature, until whatever replaces them. If anyone wants to use puns
this time next year, I recommend someone proposes them for Haskell
Prime - they have 2 implementations, are well established,
theoretically sound and seem to have a lot more people who want them
than I ever knew!

Yet despite this, I never even knew they existed, and there are quite
a few places I could have used them, now I know what they are.

Thanks
