Comment (by Doaitse):

 We consider this problem basically solved by the ChristmasTree library we
 uploaded to Hackage, with its associated packages.

 See:

 http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/ChristmasTree/0.1/doc/html
 /Text-GRead.html

 I am currently doubtful whether this should be incorporated in the GHC as
 it stands now. We think it is better to find some other uses of the TTTAS
 library before we decide how to proceed. Thus far we got no questions
 about these packages, which implies either that they solve the problem or
 that they are not used at all. In neither case this provides information
 to us on how to proceed. At least the severity could be lowered to
 "minor"?
