[Haskell-cafe] MTL vs Transformers?

[Gregory Crosswhite]

Ugh, I'm not as sure about that...  it took me long enough just to  
figure out "ghc-pkg hide transformers"!  :-)

Are running into problems because you need to refer to both packages  
(e.g., mtl and transformers) within your code, or because you are  
using packages that refer to each?  Because as long as you only need  
to refer to one of them in your own code, GHC should be able to handle  
the dependencies for the other packages correctly.  (Hiding the  
package only removes it from being automatically imported by your own  
code, it doesn't prevent it from being used by other packages that  
link to it.)

Cheers,
Greg
