this looks strange but it is current state-of-the-art: it's better now
to put anything into Cabal package rather than Base. why? because both
packages are installed with ghc and cabal can be upgraded while base
cannot :)

well, i'm not serious. actually we need some package that can be
upgraded via Cabal itself
