 > Is the oom problem in `Quantile` caused by this as well?

 It's not an OOM problem in `Quantile` as such, it's `ghc --make` running
 out of memory when compiling the whole package. If you repeat the command,
 with the earlier modules already built, then compilation succeeds.

 So it's not easy to see exactly what pushes the memory usage over the
 edge. I stopped at the first issue I found.
