 We try not to make interface changes within stable branches.

Comment(by spl):

 When I was working on EMGM, I found it useful to have `Read`, `Show`,
 `Eq`, and `Ord`. I'm playing with `generic-deriving`, and I just
 discovered that there is no `Ord` instance. This is convenient to have for
 `U1`.

 Done:

 Is it worth/possible to merge this into 7.6?

 No, not those. If someone would want that I would explicitly like to hear
 it. I suspect that such a request would involve not really understanding
 the whole purpose of these representation types.

Comment:

 Can anyone think of a good reason not to do this? I can't. Perhaps we
 should derive also `Eq`, `Read`, and maybe even `Generic` itself?
