Hello Simon,
Thanks for pointing these out to me. I won't be able to look into this for
the next week, but from what I could see so far, #2760 seems easy: copy
mkNorepType to mkNoRepType, mark mkNorepType as deprecated and replace usage
everywhere to avoid warnings and pass validation. I can submit the patch for
this.
#2759 has some deeper implications, though. Replacing the FloatConstr Double
by FloatConstr Rational might break existing client code (even though it
probably wouldn't be too hard to fix it). Additionally, I see that the
serializer code in compiler/utils/Serialized.hs would also need changes
(it's no longer serializing a Double). But I guess this is also not too
problematic...
Cheers,
Pedro

As part of your work on the SYB library, could you spare the time to look into these two library bug reports?

Many thanks
