[ghc-steering-committee] Proposal #168: fail with OverloadedStrings, rec: accept

Dear committee, welcome back from ICFP! Those who missed it: it was great, watch the videos, come to Berlin next year. Shayne Fletcher proposed that in the presence of both RebindableSyntax and OverloadedStrings, the implicit calls to fail produces by the compiler should wrap the arguments in `fromString`: https://github.com/shayne-fletcher-da/ghc-proposals/blob/fail-rebindable-wit... I’ll shepherd that myself. I agree with Neil Mitchell in the assessment that this feels more like a bug fix than a proposal, and support acceptance.
