Yes. I just pushed a candidate patch that may well validate. I'll merge tomorrow (Wed) on success.

This should hopefully be much easier than ExpTypes. Next Friday is a reasonable deadline.

There's a bunch here. Believe me -- I'm working as fast as I can to wrap up these bugs. Unfortunately, our release cycle overlaps with the critical time for the academic job market, so GHC is competing with my need to get a job. If anyone reading this wants to offer me a job, that could indeed have a tangible effect on how quickly I scoop up these bugs! :)
