#3809: template-haskell 2.4 fails to compile with base 4.1

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.
