Use explicit language extensions in base
Hello, I just wrote a patch that removes the extension fields from base.cabal and adds LANGUAGE pragmas where needed: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4925 This has the advantage that modules become more modular (since they don't need to depend on external make or cabal files which specify how to build them). For the record: this is not a library proposal. It's just an internal patch for base. It would be great if someone could review and apply it. Regards, Bas
Good idea. I'm validating now.
