commit 3d727092837cd7556865213a78285836467125a1
Author: RyanGlScott <ryan.gl.scott at gmail.com>
Date:   Tue Jul 7 21:20:07 2015 +0200

    Export more types from GHC.RTS.Flags (#9970)
    
    Export the data types `GiveGCStats`, `DoCostCentres`, `DoHeapProfiles`,
    and `DoTrace`, as well as the type synonyms `Time` and `RtsNat`. The
    above data types appear as fields in the `-Stats` data types in
    `GHC.RTS.Flags`, but since they only have `Show` instances, it is
    practically impossible to due anything useful with the above types
    unless they are exported.
