Comment:

 I would settle for a solution where I annotate those entities in a module
 that would go in the hs-boot file.  So instead of me having to go through
 the trouble of creating an extra file I could just say, e.g.,

 {{{
 {-# MODULE_MUTUAL_RECURSION_BREAKER T, foo #-}
 data T = ...
 foo :: ...
 foo = ...
 }}}

 The values that have an annotation would have to have a type signature.
