* Be careful to specify the sub-language of HsSyn that is ExtCore
This seems like asking for trouble, too, although I guess it depends on what you mean by "be careful" and "specify". I can imagine bugs potentially sneaking in when somebody makes a change to GHC without thinking about ExtCore (which is exactly what happened in the past), but I suppose that it's possible to implement some sort of ext-core-lint phase or something that checks that the ExtCore that GHC is generating is consistent with the specification. But, you would want to make sure that that phase was actually enabled when the test suite gets run.
