Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 Replying to [comment:9 goldfire]:
 > Why do you think you need step 2? I think the existing code in
 `kcDataDefn` will do the right thing here.

 I'm not sure that I understand this comment. You're suggesting that GHC
 will do all of the steps outlined in comment:3 with only step 1?
 Experimental evidence suggests that this is not true, as trying an
 implementation with only step 1 panics when given the program in
 comment:3.
