    Implement HasField constraint solving and modify OverloadedLabels · da493897
    Adam Gundry authored and Ben Gamari's avatar Ben Gamari committed
    This implements automatic constraint solving for the new HasField class
    and modifies the existing OverloadedLabels extension, as described in
    the GHC proposal
    (https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/6). Per the current
    form of the proposal, it does *not* currently introduce a separate
    `OverloadedRecordFields` extension.
    
    This replaces D1687.
    
    The users guide documentation still needs to be written, but I'll do
    that after the implementation is merged, in case there are further
    design changes.
    
    Test Plan: new and modified tests in overloadedrecflds
