 This is a place holder ticket for people that try to use DPH and find
 problems or missing features.  DPH is still deeply experimental, and we
 don't expect you to be able to do anything useful with it yet.

 However, it may work well enough to compile and run programs, depending on
 your particular example. The compiled executables are likely to work, but
 they will be very slow (like 10 - 100x slower than they should be). If
 you'd like to try DPH out anyway then feel free to give it a shot. Further
 questions and comments should be directed to benl at ouroborus.net. No need
 to open a ticket here in the GHC trac.
