Comment (by Yuras):

 carter: thank you. Unfortunately I already flushed the context out of my
 mind a number of days ago. But I promise to return to this feature request
 eventually.

 svenpanne: Yes, I believe you are correct. Probably it should not mention
 Int, Char, Float, etc at all. Feel free to fix it. Thanks for taking a
 look!

 And just for the record: I still think the low level part, covered by
 D252, is useful on itself. Please consider merging it into 7.10. At least
 I appreciate any feedback. I raised that question in a email in ghc-dev
 few weeks ago, but got no response.
