The problem is that ghc runs out of memory at compile time, see #5692.

That's unfortunate, but I think to be expected. Banning the notation is the wrong fix; it'd make more sense to limit it based on size. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7044#comment:10 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
