Comment:

 OK well I still think it's stupid, but I accept that it's a needless
 change in behaviour from 6.10, so I'll make 6.12 accept the declaration
 just as 6.10 did. That way you won't have to change HList.

   * Fix Trac #3850

   This patch simply avoids a needless difference in behaviour from
   6.10, and one that happens to affect HList. See Note [Stupid theta].
 }}}
 Please merge to 6.12 branch.

 Simon
