panic

-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
When defining a "FunPtr" of a C import, adding extra arguments outside the
"FunPtr" causes ghc to panic.
{{{
{-# LANGUAGE ForeignFunctionInterface #-}
module Foo where
import Foreign.Ptr
foreign import ccall "stdio.h &putchar" c_putchar :: () -> FunPtr (Char ->
IO ())
}}}
compiling results in
{{{
[1 of 1] Compiling Foo ( foo.hs, foo.o )
ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
(GHC version 7.6.1.20121207 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
resultWrapper
ghc-prim:GHC.Tuple.(){(w) tc 40}
-> base:GHC.Ptr.FunPtr{tc 33D}
(ghc-prim:GHC.Types.Char{(w) tc 3o}
-> ghc-prim:GHC.Types.IO{tc 32I} ghc-prim:GHC.Tuple.(){(w) tc
40})
}}}
Ideally, a solution to this would allow for partially applying a value
that would be accessed within the FunPtr, although that's probably not
trivial to support.
