Arguably, more sophisticated package-level module systems like Backpack are attempting to handle this problem, but we haven't tackled this particular incarnation directly. Excerpts from Dimitri DeFigueiredo's message of 2017-03-08 12:16:00 -0700:
It seems to me that specifying and solving module dependencies is a ubiquitous problem in software development. All the languages that I know try to make the problem go away by using version numbers and maximizing backward compatibility.
Does anyone know of references that formalize this problem for Haskell?
Thanks,
Dimitri
