The Hugs Prelude is/was nice and simple -- self-contained, no compiler
pragmas -- which is why you're encouraged to read it in the Haskell Road
book...I think the idea is to convey that the student could have written
it themselves, including things that are primitive in other languages,
with no magic required.
