Comment (by mokus):

 For what it's worth, I am willing to do as much of the dirty work as I am
 able given my current level of familiarity with the GHC build system as is
 necessary to perform a 'safe/unsafe' split if it is something that will
 actually have a good chance of inclusion.

 I had already started dabbling in that direction, but wanted to know
 whether it has any chance of being accepted before digging too deep.
