Comment:

 OK. What you are describing sounds a lot like #13175, yes? We already have
 quite an extensive overview of all the various `Deriving` pragmas (see
 https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/glasgow_exts.html
 #deriving-instances-of-extra-classes-data-etc). All that's missing is a
 blurb that mentions the other stock derivable classes (and of course, a
 link to deriving strategies section that explains what "stock" means).
