Comment(by simonpj):

 I'd do it all on the same branch (eg on github.) and as part of one
 ticket.

 It should be easy to fix the 'deriving' code (in `TcGenDeriv`).

 I don't care much about names, but I'd have thought:
 {{{
   gtChar#  :: Char# -> Char# -> Word#   -- Primop
   gtCharB# :: Char# -> Char# -> Bool    -- Wrapper
 }}}
 etc
