Dear GHC and Cabal developers and users,

I suggest to use `runhaskell' rather than `runghc'. Because it looks to have more sense, and also for political correctness. Cabal is a tool for `making' various Haskell implementations. In 2015, we may have implementations ghc, Hugs, hbc, foo_1, ..., foo_n. Does Cabal need to provide runghc, runhugs, runhbc ... runfoo_n ?

Do I mistake?

Earlier this year, Sven Panne provided[1] a good reason not to directly install 'runhaskell':

I looked into it. I cannot solve, what is better, would dot think of this now. The GHC developers see pro and contra, and let them decide. ----------- Mechveliani
