I don't have strong opinions either way (I'd say the extra complexity
wasn't worthwhile personally, but you've had more experience with
writing cabal configurations), but one thing that occurs to me: are
people likely to write things like this?:
if (base >= 3.0)
build-depends: pretty
if (base >= 3.0)
build-depends: containers
[...]
If so then we'll want to spot that and only invent a single flag, or the
exponential number of combinations might become significant.
Thanks
