Description
if
- a module have both
DeriveAnyClassandGeneralizedNewtypeDerivingenabled - and have a
newtypewith non-specificderivingclause
then
- request to enable
DerivingStrategiesif not already enabled - and use specific
deriving newtypeoranyclass
an example (in this case, probably irrelevant, in general: not so much).
{-# LANGUAGE DeriveAnyClass, GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving #-}
import Data.Hashable
newtype Foo = Foo Int
deriving (Hashable)

Research direction
Start with the Haskell example in the issue and inspect how HLint rules and their tests are organized. Reproduce the case with both DeriveAnyClass and GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving enabled, then verify that the rule distinguishes non-specific deriving clauses and recognizes an existing DerivingStrategies extension. Done means the requested extension and explicit deriving strategy are suggested for the applicable newtype.
