Comment (by td123):

 Investigated this some more this morning:

 The following commits look like they wanted to make transformers and hoopl
 installed with ghc on purpose:

 "Ship transformers with GHC"
 https://github.com/ghc/ghc/commit/71feb1025eed0c3cc849c85e2b00e16bc1a21790

 "Merge in new code generator branch" (introduces hoopl)
 https://github.com/ghc/ghc/commit/889c084e943779e76d19f2ef5e970ff655f511eb

 And looking back at the 7.8.1 release notes, hoopl is mentioned as a
 package.
 http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.8.1-rc1/html/users_guide/release-7-8-1.html

 But it doesn't look like transformers is mentioned.

 So I'm not sure if this is an issue anymore. Looks like they were both
 meant to be added to ghc. Hoopl is mentioned in the release notes. But
 transformers isn't but it seems like it should be. Thoughts?
