This module has loads of Data (defined in Data.Data) instances for
many types that it imports. I don't think there's any way to solve
this without severely breaking backward compatibility.

Anyway, syb will no longer come with 6.14, if I understand correctly,
so I'm guessing this module in particular is not a big problem.


Cheers,
Pedro
