 ghc-7.8.20140130 complains with

 {{{
     Not in scope: type constructor or class ‛Typeable2’
     Perhaps you meant ‛Typeable’ (imported from Data.Typeable)
 }}}

 changing Typeable2 to Typeable fixes it but is incompatible with ghc-7.6:

 {{{
     Expecting two more arguments to `Gr'
     In the stand-alone deriving instance for `Typeable Gr'
 }}}
