Comment (by simonpj):

 Ah, indeed comment:6 of #14288 concerns exactly this point.

 Short term: GHC should not crash.  Maybe it should just reject the
 program.

 Slightly longer term: we need to decide if we want to adopt the proposal
 in commment:15 of #14288.  Would this be worth a short GHC proposal?  It's
 certainly a change in the surface language.
