Data.Generics is a library used behind-the-scenes to implement a
language extension.  Apart from using quite a number of non-portable
extensions itself (and thus difficult to translate), it would only
really be useful to have this library available if hat-trans could
also understand the new syntax of generics (polytypic code).

Hat currently supports only a few minor extensions to Haskell'98,
namely FFI, hierarchical namespace, MPTC, functional dependencies,
and existentials.
