Comment:
I don't see the problem, you just do:
{{{
test-suite blah
type: exitcode-stdio-1.0
main-is: tests.hs
ghc-options: -O2 -DTESTING
build-depends: base >= 4.2 && < 5, array, deepseq >= 1.2 && < 1.3
... etc
}}}
That is, the test suite does not depend on the containers lib, it includes
the modules directly and so it can specify extra ghc cpp flags.
Note that you would not want to use `if enabled(tests)` to use `-DTESTING`
on the main library since that would change the library. Users installing
the package and for extra paranoia automatically running the testsuite
would end up with a non-standard, possibly slower package.
