Comment:

 I agree that this deserves some attention. I always feel dirty importing
 `GHC.Exts`, and the non-dirty things from there should have other places
 to be pulled from. I'm specifically thinking of `Constraint`, but I'm sure
 there are things other than just `IsList` and `Constraint` that should
 find new homes.
