    Until now, the only way to do proper Unicode sorting in Haskell was to depend on text-icu, which wraps the C library icu4c. However, there are disadvantages to depending on an external C library. In addition, the last release of text-icu was in 2015, and since then there have been changes to icu4c that cause build-failures, as noted in this issue.

    text-icu occasionally breaks horribly and nondeterministically (1, 2) despite being praised by SOTU

    Good question! I checked, and no, they are currently discarded. I think that's fixable. I've opened a ticked at https://github.com/well-typed/large-records/issues/80 .

    Also: maybe you already knew GHC.Generics instances had superlinear compilation time, but betcha you didn't know even normal records themselves had superlinear compilation time. At least I didn't know until Edsko's super-recent investigation (resulting in yet-unreleased https://github.com/well-typed/large-records)
