#880: someFunction :: TypeRep -> Int

Now that TypeRep share their keys using RTS internal allocation, can we
get a function in Data.Typeable (or even GHC.Exts) that retrieves the Int
key? Currently my job code (OpenAFP) and Pugs both uses "show :: TypeRep
-> String" as the key for Map, but I think it'd be much, much faster if
either TypeRep supports Ord natively, or (preferably) that we can get a
Int out of it.
Thanks!
