F.Y.I the change I added is for https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/4492. I don't think any other MRs on the horizon are due to affect these primops, so I'm reasonably confident those will be the final form for GHC 9.2.

As discussed elsewhere, eventually I hope to not be confined to hackage releases of Alex and Happy so we don't have to guess what will be in the next version at all, or risk polluting hackage in so guessing (lest the guess be wrong).

Thanks @Ericson2314!

@hsyl20 want to get on IRC for a second to discuss what we should do next?
