To be specific: what goes wrong if you simply remove Coercible from ghcPrimExports?
It cannot be imported any more. And if I export it in `GHC.Types` and import it from there, then haddock and ghci (IIRC) display it as regular data type, not as a constraint, which I found very confusing. This might be a considered a bug or a misfeature; should I open a bug for it? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8888#comment:13 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
