ANN: haskell-src-exts-simple

Dear all, I've just released haskell-src-exts-simple 1.18.0.0 on hackage [1]. (This is the first release. The first two components of the version follow haskell-src-exts.)
From the README:
This package provides a shim for haskell-src-exts, exposing the same AST but without annotations. This package is useful for synthesizing and manipulating HSE ASTs that don't carry source location information. It may also aid in porting packages from haskell-src-exts 1.17 to 1.18, but it is not a drop-in replacement for the old annotation-free AST. See [2] for details. Happy hacking, Bertram [1] https://hackage.haskell.org/package/haskell-src-exts-simple [2] https://github.com/int-e/haskell-src-exts-simple/blob/master/COMPATIBILITY.m...

I have released version 1.18.0.1 which adds support for ghc-7.8, with a caveat: Because support for explicitly bidirectional patterns is not available, the constructors of the `Literal` type only work as patterns in ghc-7.8; there are separate functions for construction f `Literal` values. In later ghc versions, the constructors can be used for constructing values as well. Cheers, Bertram P.S. I fogot to update the changelog in this release; this will be fixed with the next release.
