Comment (by facundo.dominguez):

 That looks better to me if you can somehow implement the {{{Data (Q ())}}}
 instance that the compiler will request for adding such field in the AST.

 We could still use a Map to store the finalizers, instead of storing local
 type environments as we are doing now.

 Combining {{{addModFinaliser}}} and {{{addTopDecls}}} looks fine to me.
