Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 Another possibility: we allow the use of multiple `deriving`s after a
 datatype. Something like:

 {{{#!hs
 newtype Foo = Foo Bar
   deriving         (A, B, C)
   deriving builtin (D, E, F)
   deriving newtype (G, H, I)
   deriving default (J, K, L)
 }}}

 Pros: this would be a lot more consistent with the treatment for
 standalone `deriving` declarations. Cons: we'd have to significantly
 rework the way we parse `data`/`newtype` declarations.
