Indeed it seems like syb-with-class is a bit stagnant. For what it's worth
I've moved the source to a Git repository [1] along with fixes allowing
it to compile on GHC 7.10 (although with a slight loss of sharing which
may or may not be recovered by the optimizer).

sanzhiyan or Simon, do you think you could have a look at these changes
and push them to Hackage if you find them acceptable? I would also be
happy to take over maintenance if that is preferred.

Cheers,
