It looks like it's been this way since a2a67cd520b9841114d69a87a423dabcb3b4368e. Why aren't we just defining `StgClosure` here?

Probably because it needs to be forward-declared for something else. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7907#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
