It's a nice piece of code. I'm not using it either. But its ideas should
not be forgotten. What exactly is the problem with supporting it?

It's not using many extensions so compiling it should not make any
trouble, does it?

Maybe someone (I?) should write a .cabal file and add it to hackage.

Then everyone who is interested in it can install it using
cabal-install.

I never want to miss having read some of its code.
