Generics changes in GHC 8 break containers

containers does not currently build with GHC 8 because of changes to Generics. I only have a shallow understanding of GHC.Generics. Could someone give me a hand figuring out what I need to change? Thanks, David Feuer

Hi David,
Care to share exactly what breaks? What errors do you get?
Cheers,
Pedro

See https://github.com/haskell/containers/issues/195
There's been some change to representation types. However, Andres Löh
believes that the correct solution is to remove the Generic instances
that were recently added to containers master (which have never
appeared in a released version). I've opened a pull request to do so,
but I'd prefer to hear from Wren Romano (co-maintainer) and Kubo Kováč
(who wrote the instances) before doing so.
