might be interesting for you. Actually, "deriving binary" would be a nice
thing to have in general - even more, a way to add your own "deriving"
things from within Haskell, although I have no idea how such a thing would
work.

seems to be a bit broken at the moment so I don't know if that relates to
any proposed extensions. Are there any pages that summarise what people
have learned from trying out already-implemented extensions, to help get
an idea what the next Haskell will be like, or what ideas to try next? For
instance, I expect to see some concurrency and exceptions, multi-parameter
type classes, etc. make it through.
