GHC proposals not rendering

[Bryan Richter]

This is strongly correlated with filesize. It's the list of the largest
files in the repo, except #242 is missing.

$ wc -c *.rst --total=never | sort -n | tail -n 7
  43501 0380-ghc2021.rst
  44051 0242-unsaturated-type-families.rst
  55686 0448-type-variable-scoping.rst
  56526 0583-hasfield-redesign.rst
  56885 0281-visible-forall.rst
  71114 0378-dependent-type-design.rst
  92654 0111-linear-types.rst

So yeah, perhaps it's actually limiting the size of the *output* or
something.
