Comment (by AntC):

 Um, is there anybody using fancy type stuff like `TypeLits`, but not
 needing `FlexibleInstances`? I know
 [https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.4.2/docs/html/users_guide/glasgow_exts.html
 `-fglasgow-exts`] is deprecated these days, but I always switch on those
 extensions anyway.
