Changes (by simonpj):
* milestone: => Not GHC
Comment:
The only negative impact would that instead of saying just "Int", users
might have to write "GHC.Base.Int", and have ifdefs for other compilers.
Myself, I don't mind one way or the other.
This is a library issue really. I'll mark it as "Not GHC". I think the
best thing now is to make a concrete proposal following the library
process (http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Library_submissions); and then
submit a patch.
many thanks
Simon
