I propose that at each minor version of base, someone picks an implementation randomly.

Here is a more radical, less labour-intensive solution, if you don't mind a judicious, correctness-preserving use of unsafePerformIO: at the first invocation of the process lifetime, pick an implementation randomly.

Over in ##c++, there is sometimes talk about an Evil Standard Library, that attempts to do interesting things in response to any undefined or implementation defined behaviour, triggering things like launching NetHack. -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se
