Comment(by shelarcy):
One problem is that there is no patch for Cabal. I think we need Cabal
support for plugins. cse-ghc-plugins and strict-ghc-plugins require to
link GHC API. This means that code bloat occurs when building package that
depends on plugin. If we want to avoid code bloat, we must split plugin
into annotation package and plugin package. This is not good.
Does anyone has an idea that solves this problem?
This is just Cabal's problem. So, I don't know we should discuss here, or
we should discuss on Hackage project's Ticket after plugin is merged in
GHC HEAD.
