 In [changeset:f4046b508a5a71ff2e28f438b30048867dbad428/ghc]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="ghc"
 revision="f4046b508a5a71ff2e28f438b30048867dbad428"
 Change role annotation syntax.

 This fixes bugs #8185, #8234, and #8246. The new syntax is explained
 in the comments to #8185, appears in the "Roles" subsection of the
 manual, and on the [wiki:Roles] wiki page.

 This change also removes the ability for a role annotation on type
 synonyms, as noted in #8234.
