[Haskell-beginners] Prelude source code

[David McBride]

Most libraries end up on your system when you use them.  You can find them
if you installed via stack, by just typing find ~/.stack -name '*tar*'

However base is special.  It is distributed with ghc and if you were to
build ghc from source it would take hours, so it and its primary libraries
are distributed in already compiled form, so you'll have to look at the ghc
source code to see those libraries.
