I've just noticed that there is no GHC language extension for annotations
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/extending-ghc.html#annotation-pragmas
That feels like an oversight. Yes, they are in a pragma, but you may get an
error message if you compile with a stage-1 compiler,

Evan,
if you want to get involved in working on HPC, go for it! theres many many
pieces of ghc that need more proactive ownership.
i should probably use HPC a bit as i start getting my numerical libs out,
and i'm sure future me will appreciate current you working on making it
better

So Evan's prediction was accurate ;-)
