base-compat with extra batteries

Scope

base-compat-batteries provides functions available in later versions of base to a wider range of compilers, without requiring you to use CPP pragmas in your code.

This package provides the same API as the base-compat library, but depends on compatibility packages (such as semigroups) to offer a wider support window than base-compat, which has no dependencies.

Like base-compat, base-compat-batteries does not add any orphan instances. There is a separate package base-orphans for that.

See here for a more comprehensive list of differences between base-compat and base-compat-batteries.
