Right, so to be fair a more accurate description would have been: `It can be shown that GHC with numerous extensions gives rise to a type system which is Turing Complete', my mistake. I certainly didn't mean to mislead anyone.
All too often I conflate Haskell (2010 or so) and the capabilities of GHC -- this is a trap which ensnares many, I suspect.

Dear Tslil, my exclamation was with tongue part way in cheek, so no worry as far as I am concerned. I do not know much about Haskell, and less about GHC, but I am slowly learning. I am still not sure how far modifications to the type inferencer/checker affect the code produced, beyond whether any code at all is output. My guess today is that that most of the time, no matter what extensions are invoked, if the source type-checks, then we get the same Core output. I am still smiling at your S, K, I, and Andras's Eval. oo--JS.
