Correct me if I am wrong, but the "time" package already uses extensions beyond Haskell'98. It certainly imports the ReadP library, which requires Rank2, and so no pure Haskell'98 compiler can build the time package.
Oops, my mistake, you're quite right. And I should say "time" already uses HierarchicalModules, FFI and CPP. I was originally going to put the Data instances in "time", but you objected: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2009-June/011791.html http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2009-June/011796.html What do you recommend? -- Ashley Yakeley
