 (Originally noticed [here](https://github.com/ekmett/transformers-
 compat/issues/32).)

 Consider the following program:

 {{{#!hs
 {-# LANGUAGE MagicHash #-}
 module Bug where

 data T a = MkT { runT# :: a }
   deriving (Read, Show)

 t1, t2 :: T Int
 t1 = MkT 1
 t2 = read $ show t1

 main :: IO ()
 main = print t2
 }}}

 In GHC 8.2.1, this runs without issue:

 {{{
 $ /opt/ghc/8.2.2/bin/runghc Bug.hs
 MkT {runT# = 1}
 }}}

 In GHC 8.4.1, however, this produces a runtime error:

 {{{
 $ ~/Software/ghc-8.4.1/bin/runghc Bug.hs
 Bug.hs: Prelude.read: no parse
 }}}
