Thank you both, I misread that page on the versions and didn't see the
difference between minor version number and release number. So I can
confirm, my 7.0.3 install gives me 700 and my 7.2.1 gives me 702.
Everything is good. Thanks!

Hello list, I must be doing something stupid, but what?
ghc --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.2.1

I'm on Windows so everything else is correct except the line that tells me I'm using 7.0.2.
No, __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ == 702 means you're using ghc-7.2.*, not 7.0.2.
The second and third digit of the version are for the second component, so 610 was 6.10.*, 612 was 6.12.*
Unfortunately I have code that works under 7.0.3 and breaks under 7.2.1 (and the 7.2.1 code breaks under 7.0.3, of course) so I don't see anything other option than conditional compilation.
#in __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ >= 702 -- code for 7.2.1 and greater #else -- code for ghc <= 7.0.4 #endif
