Comment (by jstolarek):
I think it would be better to add a field to `GadtC` that tells whether a
constructor is an infix one or not. Correct me if I'm wrong, but
information about infixity of a declaration is rarely needed. Adding a new
constructor will force TH clients to implement handling of infix
constructors even in situations where they don't care about infixity,
whereas adding a new field to `GadtC` will be simple to handle -
programmers can simply ignore that field in situations where it is
irrelevant.
