Comment (by johnleo):

 Proposal:

 In `ghc/libraries/template-haskell/Language/Haskell/TH/Syntax.hs` create a
 new data type:
 {{{#!hs
 data TypeFamilyBase = TypeFamilyBase Name [TyVarBndr] FamilyResultSig
 (Maybe InjectivityAnn)
 }}}

 In `data Dec` in the same file replace the definitions of
 `OpenTypeFamilyD` and `ClosedTypeFamilyD` with the following:
 {{{#!hs
 | OpenTypeFamilyD TypeFamilyBase
 | ClosedTypeFamilyD TypeFamilyBase [TySynEqn]
 }}}
