[GHC] #14490: TTG Snags

[Simon Peyton Jones]

Yes, but it is not feasible before GHC 8.6, due to needing GHC >= 8.2 for bootstrapping.
True.  But 8.4 will fork off shortly; so once that is done, we are happy with perf, we can add the change to master in preparation for 8.6.

 Regardless of the GHC version we use, the question is whether Plan B
