Re: [commit: ghc] master: Adds -ghc-version flag to ghc. (12a7444)

Hmm, when seeing "-ghc-version" I first thought why a new flag for querying the version of GHC? But the flag has a different purpose! I'd suggest to rename it to "-ghcversion-file" or similar. Just my two cents... Cheers, Gabor On 11/18/17, g...@git.haskell.org
