I'd prefer for this misfeature not to be used even if it *weren't*
buggy! What a terrible idea, to introduce a syntactic sugar that
shadows an existing binding with a totally different value of a
different type, in such a way that you can only discover what has been
done by searching some different file! If you did this by hand,
compiling with -Werr -Wall would lead to a compile error---and rightly
so.

  * removed use of RecordWildCards, which is buggy in ghc 6.8.
