[Haskell-cafe] block comments in cabal files?

[Johannes Waldmann]

I totally could not understand why "stack install"
suddenly failed with "ghc: unrecognised flag: -"

Then it dawned on me: you cannot use {- .. -}
for block comments in cabal files.
(the syntax has no block comments at all?)

yes, Wadler's law and all, but still.
