 In GHC 7.10.1, Template Haskell support was added for all calling
 conventions. Unfortunately a few cases are unhandled, which makes the TH
 code treat the `prim` and `javascript` calling conventions as if they were
 C calling conventions, adding the `static` keyword and running them
 through `parseCImport`.

 This is particularly bad for `javascript` imports, since most JS imports
 aren't valid C imports, so they get rejected.

 I'm testing a fix for this that I'll submit later today. I hope this is in
 time for 7.10.2
