Navigating GHC proposals

[Simon Marlow]

Well, you can go to the history of the file, and from there to the first
commit ("Rename proposal file"), and from there you'll see a link to the
pull request in the blue box next to the name of the branch (the link looks
like "#32" in this case).

But really, I wouldn't recommend sending the rendered link to someone, send
the link to the pull request.
