Hi Tim,

I added hsc2hs@0.68.6 as a native input to stack but I'm not sure how
to make it shadow the ghc package.
Used as a native input hsc2hs does not fix the issue.
I suppose another option would be to use the #:haskell key to use a
locally-patched version.
I am not familiar with ghc internals aside from having built from
source a few times so I can look into that option.

Agree! I think we should try shadowing hsc2hs first. I might even
suggest bumping lts/ghc versions before we patch our version.

Oops! Sorry!
It's definitely the importer. I know I'm not the first to have the problem.
Maybe we should open an issue to fix that?

Thanks!

John
