[ghc-steering-committee] Please review #546: Make Symbol a newtype over String, Shepherd: Chris

[Chris Dornan]

I am sorry, this is on me. I have also apologised to Oleg in the thread. I was trying to close out #270 so I could give it my full attention but just as it seems headed for resolution more complications emerge.

I have offered to try and make the process work for Oleg but failing that I will try and find a new sponsor as the proposal seemed to be worthy.

Chris
