Comment(by simonpj):
Interesting. What is a "resolved module name"? And how would you get
hold of the resolved module name for the constructor without changing
`Data`?
I'd certainly entertain a patch. As you say, changing `Data` would be a
fairly big deal, so if you can figure out a way to solve the problem
without doing so, that'd be much easier. I'd totally forgotten about
`dataToQa` and friends, and had to go back to your paper to figure out
what they do. (Even then I'm shaky. Could you add some more explicit
Haddock comments?) So I doubt they are used a lot, and changes there
would be easier.
