Why pick on nhc98?  Today, there are absolutely _no_ haskell-prime
compliant implementations, because there is no haskell-prime standard
yet.  As and when the standard is fixed, implementations will catch up.

Who says?  nhc98 is not dead.  Yhc is a very active project, and it is
basically just a re-branding of nhc98.
