| Provides functions available in later versions of @base@ to |
| a wider range of compilers, without requiring you to use CPP |
| pragmas in your code. |
| |
| This package provides the same API as the |
| @<http://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-compat base-compat>@ |
| library, but depends on compatibility packages |
| (such as @semigroups@) to offer a wider support window than |
| @base-compat@, which has no dependencies. Most of the modules |
| in this library have the same names as in @base-compat@ |
| to make it easier to switch between the two. There also exist |
| versions of each module with the suffix @.Repl.Batteries@, |
| which are distinct from anything in @base-compat@, to allow |
| for easier use in GHCi. |
| |
| See |
| @<https://github.com/haskell-compat/base-compat/blob/master/base-compat/README.markdown#dependencies here>@ |
| for a more comprehensive list of differences between |
| @base-compat@ and @base-compat-batteries@. |
