Comment:
I believe this can be considered fixed as of
317aa966b3d89e45227a5870feba339e34d77a18. The
[http://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/blob/317aa966b3d89e45227a5870feba339e34d77a18:/docs/users_guide/glasgow_exts.rst#l3646
beginning of the users' guide section] on GHC's extensions to `deriving`
now mentions:
{{{
* In Haskell 98, the only derivable classes are ``Eq``,
``Ord``, ``Enum``, ``Ix``, ``Bounded``, ``Read``, and ``Show``. `Various
langauge extensions <#deriving-extra>`__ extend this list.
}}}
The `deriving-extra` section then proceeds to mention each of the
remaining classes that are stock derivable.
