Comment (by nomeata):

 > Are you certain of that? Since it is in wiredInTyCons it will never get
 into GHC/Types.hi, nor will it be read from the interface file, so GHCi
 could never know that in the source file it was declared with data.

 I am relatively certain, but didn’t try it out right now. I just opened a
 bug about it: #8894, maybe I’ll work on it when I have some quiet minutes,
 but not right now.
