I don't claim to speak for the rest of the GHC developers, but I think
this change is too big. I am almost tempted to say that we shouldn't
add the type parameter at all, and do something else (maybe Backpack
can let us extend SrcSpan in a modular way, or even use a dynamically
typed map for annotations.)
