[Haskell-cafe] Making the encoding Haskell package compile with ghc-7.8.2

[José Romildo Malaquias]

Hello.

I use encodign in a Haskell application and I would like to have it
working with ghc-7.8.2.

So I am kindly asking to, if possible, update the encoding package[1] to
be compilable with ghc-7.8.2.

Currently it fails with the messages:

[...]

           else
               Just (chr (I# (word2Int# v))))
