Comment (by hvr):

 Replying to [comment:8 simonpj]:
 > I think we should probably switch it on for the entire `base` package,
 and the chair of the core libraries committee seems to agree.  That would
 be simpler than a lot of ad-hoc instances.

 Btw, I just tried to enable it globally in order to get a list of
 additional `Typeable` instances becoming available by that, but you have
 to avoid using `AutoDeriveTypeable` at the same time with
 `NoImplicitPrelude`, as otherwise you get the error

 {{{
 Failed to load interface for ‘Data.Typeable.Internal’
 }}}
