This sounds great, especially as the proposer is working on implementing it.  Let's accept!

As a procedural note, it seems like if the calling conventions were ever changed (to avoid "rounding up" everything to 64 bits between caller and callee), that that improvement would not need to go through the proposals process.  I.e., it's an implementation detail rather than a user-visible change.

Dear Committee,

this is your secretary speaking:

Small types like `Int8#`/`Word8#` were proposed
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/74

I propose Simon Marlow as the Shepherd.

Simon, please reach consensus as described in
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals#committee-process

I suggest you make a recommendation about the decision, maybe point out
debatable points, and assume that anyone who stays quiet agrees with
you.

Thanks,
Joachim
