Changes (by simonpj):

 * cc: kosmikus, dreixel (added)


Comment:

 Sounds interesting!  Do you have a human-readable description of

  * the problem you are trying to solve; e.g. is it precisely the problem
 described in
 [https://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/people/publications/date/JosePedro.Magalhaes.html
 Pedro's papers] "Optimisation of Generic Programs through Inlining" and
 "Optimizing SYB is Easy!")?

  * the approach you are taking to solve it?

 Adding Andres (kosmikus) who is in charge of generics in GHC, and Pedro
 (dreixel).
