'Distribution.ParseUtils' formats only the contents of the field
and not also the field name? Having the field 'build-type: Simple', then 'fieldGet' only formats
the part 'Simple' and the 'build-type: ' part is formated in
'Distribution.PackageDescription.PrettyPrint'. This makes it harder to give certain fields a nesting without special
casing in 'Distribution.PackageDescription.PrettyPrint'. If the complete field would be formated by 'fieldGet', then nesting
could be nicely integrated into the 'listField' and 'commaListField'
functions of 'Distribution.ParseUtils'. I have now created a pull request for this change on github. Is github the right place for doing this for cabal? GitHub is the right place.
