Yes, that's exactly my concern.

I'm working on #7282 - RebindableSyntax and Arrows. Here's a snippet from 
desugaring of arrow 
notation:

leaves = concatMap leavesMatch matches
 where
   leavesMatch :: LMatch Id (Located (body Id)) -> [(Located (body Id), IdSet)]
   leavesMatch (L _ (Match pats _ (GRHSs grhss binds)))
         = let defined_vars = mkVarSet (collectPatsBinders pats) `unionVarSet`
                                          mkVarSet (collectLocalBinders binds)
             in  [(body, mkVarSet (collectLStmtsBinders stmts) `unionVarSet` 
defined_vars) | L _ 
(GRHS stmts body) <- grhss]

This is in the desugarer. But I need to also know `length leaves` at the 
renaming stage, which 
means I need to call `concatMap leavesMatch matches`. The problem is that in 
the renamer my 
datatypes are not parametrised by `Id`. I turned `Id` into a type parameter 
`id`, but then I 
can't use VarSets. I could use more general UniqueSets but only if `id` type 
parameter is an 
instance of Uniquable. And since in the renamer the datatypes are parametrized 
with RdrName this 
leads me to wanting Uniqable RdrName instance.
