Ben,

>   1. Should this feature be placed behind a LANGUAGE pragma?
No, I don't think it should. I consider it a tiny addition to TypeFamilies that is not worth 
having its separate pragma. Injective TFs are fully backwards compatible, so no existing code 
will be broken.

Done. Tell me whether you like the new version.

BTW do we still have nightly builds of User's Guide?
