Comment (by JulianLeviston):

 Ok. Back to having the error above again, now. I'll try moving all the
 types and functions around `FractionalLit` into `GHC.Real` again now, and
 hope that importing them into BasicTypes makes sense from there (seems
 weird to me, but I dno't really understand how it works fully, I guess —
 feels like I'm trying random stuff without understanding it, which is
 definitely not how I like to work).
