New description:

 Right now T7919 fails because the new dynamic-by-default GHC means that
 Template Haskell must be built with dynamic; of course, GHC isn't clever
 enough to figure this out.  If we Cabalize the test, the example should
 start building again (and if they don't, well, that's a bug!)

 TH_spliceE5_prof can also use this treatment.
