Comment:

 Sorry, a workflow failure meant I hadn't actually validated this, and it
 turns out that it breaks `dynHelloWorld(dyn)`:
 {{{
 dynHelloWorld: internal error: evacuate(static): strange closure type
 -385875968
     (GHC version 7.1.20110422 for x86_64_unknown_linux)
     Please report this as a GHC bug:
 http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
 }}}

 I've reverted it (changeset:f1f3c4f50650110ad0f700d6566a44c515b0548f).

 {{{
 (gdb) p /x -385875968
 $1 = 0xe9000000
 }}}
