Comment (by jstolarek):
Before I push my patches let me remark that this is a breaking change.
There were files in the main source code as well as boot libraries that
required enabling either `FlexibleContexts` or `TypeFamilies` extensions
(or both). Error messages are informative so it's easy to fix the code,
but when we release GHC 7.10 some user libraries will need to adjust to
this change.
