Comment (by RyanGlScott):
#9766, which had been blocking this for a while, has been fixed, so
there's nothing holding this back at the moment. ocharles, would you be
willing to rebase your work on top of `master`?
You'll need to make some changes to work with the latest GHC:
* `Typeable` instances are now derived automatically for everything, so
you can remove those.
* `Arity` has been removed from `GHC.Generics`
* `GHC.Generics` has added some new datatypes:
* `FixityI` was added as a type-level counterpart to `Fixity` (this
probably doesn't need any instances)
* A new data family (`URec`) was added to support `Generic(1)` instances
for unboxed types. The data instances could probably use `Functor`,
`Foldable`, and `Traversable` instances (I ''think'' those would be well-
kinded, but I'd have to check.)
