This is an incompatibility between parsec-2 and parsec-3.  In
parsec-2, 'GenParser' is declared with a 'data' declaration, whereas
in parsec-3 it's a type synonym.  Since type-synonym declared
type-constructors cannot be partially applied this doesn't work.

Currently in parsec-3 'GenParser' is declared as:

> type GenParser tk st = Parsec [tk] st

We should be able to change it to:

> type GenParser tk = Parsec [tk]

in Text.Parsec.String, unless I'm forgetting something else tricky
about type synonyms.

Derek, does this sound reasonable?
