 In the following page:

 http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/primitives.html

 the documentation regarding unboxed tables mentions: "Unboxed tuples
 aren't really exported by GHC.Exts, they're available by default with
 -fglasgow-exts." However I've been told that this is an outdated method,
 and that "{-# LANGUAGE !UnboxedTuples #-}" is the preferred way to utilize
 this feature. With this in mind having something along the lines of "The
 unboxed tuples feature can be utilized through '{-# LANGUAGE
 !UnboxedTuples #-}'" instead.
