[Haskell-cafe] Hint's setImports usage

[Martin Hilbig]

oh that's neat!

but what to do if MyPrelude is provided by some package?

i get this error:

   module `MyPrelude' is a package module

and neither

   set [languageExtensions := [PackageImports]]

nor

   {-# LANGUAGE PackageImports #-}

helps.

have fun
martin
