Comment(by simonpj):

 True.  But if `dataToTag#` returns `Int#` then so should `grChar#`.  That
 is either
 {{{
 dataToTag# :: a -> Int#
 grChar#    :: Char# -> Char# -> Int#
 }}}
 or
 {{{
 dataToTag# :: a -> Word#
 grChar#    :: Char# -> Char# -> Word#
 }}}
 I don't mind which, but they should clearly be the same!
