Yay! Thanks very much. I've never used a nightly snapshot of GHC
before, but if I grab one tomorrow will it have this ability in it?

As long as I don't have to write it (i.e. I can steal yours) it
doesn't matter at all. I'm entirely happy with that amount of
"boilerplate", since I'm going to only have exactly one program that
uses it.

Thanks
