That would amount to saying that 'Foreign' isn't a hierarchical library
any more, and anyone wishing to use purely hirerarchical libraries in
their code should avoid it.
On one hand, this looks reasonable: Foreign already doesn't re-export
Foreign.C. However, I do use it all the time. So if we ever decided to
allow disabling of the haskell98 package, lots of supposedly
purely-hierarchical code would break. Ho hum.
Cheers,
Simon
