Yes, the GADT stuff makes refactoring quite nice.

I looked at this patch bundle, I don't really see any problems with
it, but I didn't look that closely.  Do you think it would be hard to
write QuickCheck properties that compare the new implementation with
the old one?  My reasoning is this: the old implementation was simpler
and easier to inspect, so we can use it as a test answer oracle with
reasonable confidence.

Thanks!
