Comment (by mboes):

 Note that the main reason that this was not implemented the first time
 around is that we couldn't get floating of closed local identifiers to
 top-level to work properly. This is likely an easy and straightforward
 task though - Facundo and I just don't have the requisite knowledge it
 seems. So any help from core developers more familiar with GHC would be
 greatly appreciated.
