base vs haskell98

[Malcolm Wallace]

Dear all,

I recently noticed something strange about the base and haskell98
library packages.  The modules "Prelude" and "Numeric" seem to be
in the base package, whereas I would have expected to see them in
the haskell98 package.  Is there a good reason why they are in the
"wrong" place?  And if so, should this be documented somewhere?

Regards,
    Malcolm
