 _scc_ is an ancient way of writing {-# SCC #-} pragmas. The old pragmas
 were discouraged in 2001
 ([http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/5.00/set/release-5-00.html GHC 5.0]) and
 officialy deprecated in 2007
 ([http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.8.3/html/users_guide/release-6-8-1.html
 GHC 6.8]). I downloaded the archive of the latest versions of packages in
 Hackage; there are over 1000 occurrences of {-# SCC #-} and 0 occurrences
 of _scc_.

 Patch attached.
