base-compat

A compatibility layer for base

Provides functions available in later versions of @base@ to a wider range of compilers, without requiring you to use CPP pragmas in your code. See the <https://github.com/haskell-compat/base-compat#readme README> for what is covered. Also see the <https://github.com/haskell-compat/base-compat/blob/master/CHANGES.markdown changelog> for recent changes. Note that @base-compat@ does not add any orphan instances. There is a separate package, @<http://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-orphans base-orphans>@, for that. In addition, `base-compat` does not backport any data types or type classes. See @<https://github.com/haskell-compat/base-compat#data-types-and-type-classes this section of the README>@ for more info.
