Comment (by yongqli):

 See Main.hs here: https://gist.github.com/yongqli/5dc94aeaeda2e24c6637

 You need the following packages: {{{ linear, lens, vector, vector-th-
 unbox, strict }}}

 Running with {{{ ghc Main.hs -O2 -flate-dmd-anal -fforce-recomp; ./Main
 }}} will give

 {{{ Main: Oops!  Entered absent arg w_sGY6 MVN V1 Double }}}

 It takes about 3 days's worth of work to produce a test case like this. Is
 there a better option than deleting a piece of code and then recompiling?
 I essentially have to "unwrite" my whole program. Is there a fuzzer-like
 tool that could conceivably be used?
