Imagine if GHC proper was cabalized. Imagine if all stuff under
libraries/ were to disappear. Imagine if cabal had special magic to
automatically pick a working compiler (one with base and Cabal).
$ cabal-install ghc # installs a ghc built using the host haskell
# compiler, which must support pattern guards
$ cabal-install ghc # finds the ghc/ghc-pkg just installed, and
# uses it to build a new ghc, after installing
"core
# libs" (everything GHC depends on).
More dreams....
A Prophecy like that may incite vows to fulfil a Quest :)
