So since we have to break the API anyway, why not break it in the way

Oh, but the thing is we don't! We have a plan to rename GHC.Prim to
GHC.Prim.BuiltIn, rename
GHC.PrimWrappers (in ghc-prim) to GHC.Prim and make it re-export
GHC.Prim.BuiltIn [1]. This way
change will be completely backwards compatible. I was working on that on
Friday. Patches are
essentially finished, but I still have to solve haddock panic that I somehow
introduced [2].
I'm sorry, but I just don't like this solution. We could do this every
time we change an API, but imagine what a mess we'd be in by now! It's
just not the right way to manage API changes.
Cheers,
Simon
