Comment (by nh2):

 I think you linked the right issue; I got to #9766 via the git commit you
 mentioned in #10512.

 What you say makes sense, and it does look like a better solution.

 I don't know if it addresses all issues that motivated this issue, but
 your comment at https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10512#comment:7
 suggests that it does. I'll try that out when GHC 8 is released with this
 change, and reopen if there's any remaining problem.

 Thanks!
