Hello, for a project I am using the libraries Unique, UniqSupply, and UniqFM from the package ghc. It seems odd to have a dependency on a whole compiler only in order to use its (highly efficient and, hence, preferred) implementation of unique identifiers. Would it be possible to put everything concerned with unique identifiers in GHC into a separate package on Hackage? This may also allow me to get a fix for <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2880
without reinstalling GHC.
Cheers, Sebastian
