Type checker plugins

Hi folks, Those of you at HIW last week might have been subjected to my lightning talk on plugins for the GHC type checker, which should allow us to properly implement nifty features like units of measure or type-level numbers without recompiling GHC. I've written up a wiki page summarising the idea: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Plugins/TypeChecker Feedback is very welcome, particularly if (a) you have an interesting use for this feature or (b) you think this is a terrible idea!
