 I'm afraid this proposal is dead. [https://github.com/Yuras/ghc/commits
 /cmm-cstruct Here] is the code rebased over ghc-8.0 in case anyone wants
 to take it over. If you are interested to push it forward, then I'd
 suggest to open new [https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals GHC
 proposal].
