You probably couldn't do pointer tagging anymore, which is probably a substantial performance loss.

Hello,

In theory could GHC codegen work if every data constructor in the whole program  have a globally unique tag value instead of starting from 1 for each algebraic data type?

Would this break any GHC design decision?

Csaba
