Plugin support is not well documented, and could do with some love. If someone would like to take it up, I'm sure it could be improved a lot.

I'd love to know a nicer way to do this, but what Ben Lippmeier did as a workaround is require a binding "repa_primitives = R.primitives" where repa_primitives is a record with references to all the primitive types you need. It's not great, but it works. Plugin code: http://code.ouroborus.net/repa/repa-head/repa-plugin/Data/Array/Repa/Plugin/... Primitives export: http://code.ouroborus.net/repa/repa-head/repa-series/Data/Array/Repa/Series/...

If it's not possible to do what I want, I'd be willing to require an explicit import (say "import qualified Foo") in client code, as a temporary workaround. So far I've been unable to import even from the base package. Maybe I'm missing something basic that you folks have learned. My simple & unsuccessful attempt is at https://github.com/conal/plugin-import-id . Help greatly appreciated.
