 The following doesn't compile with GHC 7.8.3, but works with GHC HEAD. I
 couldn't find a matching ticket, so I don't know if this was fixed
 knowingly or not...

 {{{#!hs
 {-# LANGUAGE AutoDeriveTypeable #-}

 import Data.Typeable (Typeable)

 data T1 = C1 Int
      deriving (Eq,Ord)

 tvoid :: Typeable a => a -> IO ()
 tvoid _ = return ()

 main :: IO ()
 main = tvoid (C1 0)
 }}}

 ...fails for GHC 7.8.3 with

 {{{
     No instance for (Typeable T1) arising from a use of ‘tvoid’
     In the expression: tvoid (C1 0)
     In an equation for ‘main’: main = tvoid (C1 0)
 }}}

 I'm marking this with high priority, as it makes `-XAutoDeriveTypeable`
 unusable on GHC 7.8.3 as it stands.
