The main problem was that my code relied on constraint (Num a)
implying (Eq a) per the standard. I also had context clauses in 
data declarations. Thus I had to make pervasive, albeit trivial, 
changes to get past GHC's nonconformance.

(Presumably option -XHaskell2010 would have papered over the
trouble, but I prefer to maximize code portability.)
