Subject: More compact error messages for record selectors
X-Git-Url: http://git.megacz.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=97d9ff33d71eb70e5e3e97906abb4fc97c948ca3;p=ghc-base.git

More compact error messages for record selectors

Make recSelError generate the standard part of the record selector
error message (i.e. "No match in record selector") rather than have
that string duplicated for every record selector.
