all ghc language extensions should have their own flags
Right now, to enable some ghc features such as unboxed types, there is no way of doing so except with "-fglasgow-exts", which also enables every other ghc feature. It would be nice to have individual options for every ghc language extension, so that we can only enable the specific extensions that we want.
