One way of fixing this would be to prepend a prime (or some other non- capital letter character) to {{{name_fs}}} in {{{TcGenDeriv.gen_Typeable_binds}}} if the given {{{tycon::TyCon}}} is a

Is this sufficient (...)
I believe so. It should be a really simple fix.
Nope, here is a version based simply on using different promoted kinds (that are not visible in the Typeable instance). Also works to modify Shachaf's unsafeCoerce from #10000. {{{ {-# LANGUAGE DataKinds #-} {-# LANGUAGE AutoDeriveTypeable #-} import Data.Typeable data A t = A main = print $ typeRep (Proxy :: Proxy (A :: Bool -> *)) == typeRep (Proxy :: Proxy (A :: Ordering -> *)) }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9858#comment:9 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
