Why is it that the haddock docs supplied with GHC omit this module and its exports? Is it because we're not supposed to use them? I'm thinking of the compareInt# function in particular, which I use quite a lot.
We don't intend GHC.Base to be a stable interface for external use, which is why we don't document it. Use at your own risk! If there's useful stuff in GHC.Base, then arguably we should have a published stable interface from which to get it, though. Cheers, Simon
