Comment (by dminuoso):

 Thank you for the explanation.

 Is it correct to consider {-# UNPACK #-} itself a strictness annotation?
 As an end user I would expect it to be referred to as a pragma.
 Furthermore  I still have to specify the strictness annotation ! for the
 field. If this is working as intended, then I think it's a somewhat poor
 message.
