base-orphans: Backwards-compatible orphan instances for base
This is a package candidate release! Here you can preview how this package release will appear once published to the main package index (which can be accomplished via the 'maintain' link below). Please note that once a package has been published to the main package index it cannot be undone! Please consult the package uploading documentation for more information.
base-orphans defines orphan instances that mimic instances available in later versions of base to a wider (older) range of compilers. base-orphans does not export anything except the orphan instances themselves and complements base-compat.
`base-orphans-0` is an intentional empty release. For an explanation as to why it exists, see the README.

Scope
base-orphans defines orphan instances that mimic instances available in later
versions of base to a wider (older) range of compilers. base-orphans does
not export anything except the orphan instances themselves and complements
base-compat.
About base-orphans-0
base-orphans-0 is a special release that intentionally does not export any
modules. base-orphans-0 is used when retroactively adding base-orphans
dependencies to older Hackage libraries to ensure that they cannot be built in
combination with more recent versions of base-orphans that would cause them
to break. (For example, if a package defines an orphan instance which clashes
with one in base-orphans.)

We also make an attempt to keep base-orphans building with GHC HEAD, but due
to its volatility, it may not work at any given point in time. If it doesn't,
please report it!
Patches are welcome; add tests for new code!
