[Haskell-cafe] hledget: mtv vs transformers

[Simon Michael]

You mean mtl 2.*, right ?

Yes that is a problem. I'm nervous about requiring mtl 2 because when  
I bumped hledger 0.13's process dependency to 0.14 for similar reasons  
it made all kinds of trouble for folks who just want to install the  
hledger core in standard/older haskell environments.
