GHC installations include `haskeline` in their global DB, as well as its
dependencies (currently: `stm` and `terminfo`). However, Haskeline isn't
a dependency of the `ghc` library, so that shouldn't be necessary.
Originally suggested by hvr here, in response to needing to pull `stm`
into the global DB:
https://github.com/judah/haskeline/pull/61#issuecomment-294878302
This change would let Haskeline add dependencies more easily. See in
particular the pending PR to depend on the "exceptions" package:
