GHC runs out of memory building unicode-properties

Building package https://hackage.haskell.org/package/unicode-properties uses extraordinary amounts of memory with recent compilers - it dies on my 16GB desktop, though the travis build does eventually complete (see it here: https://travis-ci.org/seereason/unicode-properties/builds/65815442.) I have imported the repo to github and untabified it here: https://github.com/seereason/unicode-properties. Building this package was somewhat slow but did complete under ghc-7.8.3.
