Comment (by nomeata):

ghcPrimExports?
It cannot be imported any more.
And if I export it in `GHC.Types` and import it from there, then haddock
and ghci (IIRC) display it as regular data type, not as a constraint,
which I found very confusing. This might be a considered a bug or a
misfeature; should I open a bug for it?
