Comment (by basvandijk):

 > Can I encourage the other cc folks to say what their use-case is

 I remember that by eta abstracting the definitions in
 [http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/vector/0.10.0.1/doc/html
 /Data-Vector-Generic.html Data.Vector.Generic] I could really speedup the
 [https://github.com/basvandijk/vector-
 bytestring/blob/master/bench/bench.hs benchmarks] in `vector-bytestring`.

 If there's some nice syntax to make eta conversion easier it would be
 cheaper to make this change.
