Comment (by hvr):

 Replying to [comment:14 bgamari]:
 > This (Phab:D1869) will be merged when #11763 is implemented.

 #11763 has been implemetned already... but we should make sure that the
 Cabal 1.24 bundled with GHC 8 is updated to use `-fno-version-macros` so
 that Cabal controls 100% of which macros are made available to programs;
 it's a bad idea IMHO to have both, `cabal_macros.h` and `-fversion-macros`
 in effect even if it doesn't cause apparent problems *yet*.
