Fantastic response.

In regards to changing data records I've suffered the same problem as well. At best I've isolated what I can into separate modules so the impact is smaller after a small change, but obviously isn't universally applicable.

Note that there is also a #haskell-beginners IRC channel where it's sometimes easier to get a responses to certain questions than the much broader #haskell channel. Both channels are full of incredibly nice people for sure.

I too did not know about fieldLabelModifier and am excited about the GHC 8 changes as well!
