I _think_ this may cause problems with some data types (e.g.
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/numbers/2009.8.9/doc/html/Data-Number-Natural.html
) that require the extra laziness (that is, you can do things like ` 3
< genericLength [1..] ' and have it return True).

GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving can do that.
