Hi Ben,
Thanks for your reply.
No worries. Please excuse the grammar in the reply; reading over it now it's quite embarrassing. Clearly needed a read-through before sending.
My problem is the project I’m currently working on is dependent upon HERMIT, which doesn’t play well with 7.10.2, as per:
https://github.com/ku-fpg/hermit/issues/144#issuecomment-128762767
(The nature of that comment caused me to think that 7.10.3 was in play.)
Ahhh, the simplifier issue. I suppose that hermit is probably being adversely affected by the fact that 7.10.2 attempts to simplify rules' left-hand sides. This is definitely one of the more significant problems with the 7.10.2 release. I was hoping that `text` would be the only major package affected by this bug, but it seems this isn't the case. I'll mention this in the next GHC call and see what the others think. Cheers, - Ben
