[Hackage] #791: Large libraries not installable on OS X

[Conal Elliott]

I see that this this trac item has no milestone and an "unknown" duration.
Has this problem (incompatibility of large libraries and ghci on the Mac)
slipped through the cracks? Is it thought to be unimportant? For me, not
being able to count on ghci is a huge detriment. Thanks,
