Yes I agree, unlifted data types would be terrific.

Hi,

Since my hopes of finally merging Nested CPR have recently been crushed again, 
I hope that we can include the implementation of the UnliftedDatatypes 
extension 
(proposal<https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fghc-proposals%2Fghc-proposals%2Fblob%2Fmaster%2Fproposals%2F0265-unlifted-datatypes.rst&data=04%7C01%7Csimonpj%40microsoft.com%7C730e3d94506e454a0e9808d8ce777010%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C637486360556220696%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000&sdata=RtIcZVbhIhqLo2KvXzUME5alwqQM7pI2e2dTLFGSGkI%3D&reserved=0>,

It was on ice since it depends on the BoxedRep proposal, but if BoxedRep is 
going to make it, surely UnliftedDatatypes can make it, too.
I expect quite a few bugs, simply because I don't have much code to test it on 
yet. But I'm very confident that existing code isn't impacted by that, as most 
of the functionality (CodeGen for unlifted types, most importantly) was already 
there and I only had to refine a conditional here and there.

Cheers,
Sebastian

Indeed, this seems quite reasonable. I don't see any reason why we
shouldn't be able to get it in to 9.2.1.

Cheers,
