Probably it could be made clearer. In 4.2 the idea is that instead of replacing
base-2.0 ==> base-3.0 + directory-1.0 + array-1.0 + ...
you would replace
base-2.0 ==> newbase-1.0 + directory-1.0 + array-1.0 + ...
and additionally have a package base-3.0 that re-exports the whole of (newbase + directory + array + ...).
"Macros" in cabal: Why not just say that depending on base-3.0 actually means that you have to depend on newbase-1.0, and directory-1.0, etc... Why is compiler support needed? is it really possible that I still don't understand? Isaac
