Comment:

 > I'm reopening this ticket so you can think a little better about the
 problem, goldfire.

 There is, in general, no need to tell goldfire to think better. He already
 thinks frighteningly goo. Please, vanto, give the developers of GHC the
 benefit of doubt that they know what they are talking about, and what the
 appropriate status of a bug is (unless you are very sure that they made a
 mistake, which is of course possible. In that case point out their mistake
 in a friendly manner, and let them change the status back if they are
 indeed wrong).

 Anyways, GHC is doing everything right here (and it’s not GHC’s fault if
 Haskell can be a bit confusing sometimes).
