GND and Safe Haskell

[Richard Eisenberg]

Roles makes GND completely type-safe. You cannot make unsafeCoerce using GND.

However, you can look around abstractions with GND, both before and after roles -- roles weren't really designed to stop you from doing this. See #5498. Whether this is grounds to make GND unSafe is up to the designers of Safe Haskell.
