Re: Prelude not in haskell98?

Hi Iavor,

All this seems to indicate that the Prelude is not a part of the "haskell98" package. Is this the case, and if so, is this intentional? It would be nice if we could create Cabal packages that explicitly indicate that the library depends only on Haskell 98 libraries.

Its true, and its intentional. The trend nowadays is to make programs depend only on base, not only on haskell98 - i.e. import System.Environment (and others) instead of System. hakell98 will be around forever, but base is the new "standard libraries" set. Thanks Neil
