users-guide: links to extensions will break on ghc-8.12
Summary
There are lots of valuable web documents and pages on nets that refer to the extension pages of the ghc user's guide. The pages are specifying links in the following format:
https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/glasgow_exts.html#extension-ApplicativeDo
However, since ghc-8.12, glasgow_exts.html
file no longer exists. Therefore, many valuable links are lost. That is, 404 will be displayed as follows:
Proposed improvements or changes
So we need a redirect mechanism or a rescue page.
One of just idea is to rename users_guide/exts/table.rst
to users_guide/glasgow_exts.rst
.
It's not a perfect solution, but it does prevent a 404.
Any better idea?
