 The problem is !CharConstr, which doesn't exist in Data.Data prior to base
 4.2. I suppose the easiest fix is to update the build-depends in the cabal
 file.

 But for what it's worth I had a look and the mention of !CharConstr is so
 brief that I wonder if it's not worth factoring it out somehow in a way
 that maintains compatibility – commenting out that single two-line case
 branch allows the build to complete fine.
