Comment:

 Other than splitting up base (#1338), I'm not clear on exactly what you
 want. Is it more rebindable syntax? For example, the wiki page you point
 at says you want to replace Read, but I'm not sure exactly what you mean
 by that. You can make a class called Read, but GHC isn't going to know how
 to derive instances of it.

 If you could give a more concrete list of changes you want then that would
 be very helpful.
