In any case, this is not that big deal. When I read the code I thought this should be a trivial change but apparently it's not.
No, it's not. Your example (`f :: (Int#, b) -> b`) still has an unboxed thing in a boxed tuple. Boxed tuples simply can't (currently) hold unboxed things. And changing that is far from trivial. It's not the polymorphism that's the problem -- it's the unboxed thing in a boxed tuple. Richard
