  * status:  patch => closed
  * resolution:  => wontfix


Comment:

 Ah, I see: This patch makes 1 module re-export things from Cabal, so other
 modules can use the re-exports instead of also importing modules from
 Cabal.

 I think this would just make things more confusing. I generally prefer to
 have things exported from just 1 place. I'm therefore closing the ticket
 as wontfix.
