Where can I find the full ghc prelude?

There was at one point an intention of making the "base" package available on Hackage, but at the moment you need the ghc source to get it.

And `base` is now living in the GHC tree itself; it no longer has its own repository which further complicates its status as a free-standing package. This was a conscious decision as much of `base` is quite tied to GHC. There have been various attempts to split base up into packages of finer granularity ([1] being the latest, as far as I know); unfortunately they have all run into various practical issues.
