+I just wondered if you could make a library that
+doesn't depend on base.
+
+I suppose this is a giant boon for all these 
+alternate prelude libraries,
+you could make your own alternate base.
+
+You can just completly bypass the CLC and
+make your own favorite haskell:
+
++ Don't like monads? Don't define them!
++ Don't like String? Don't define it!
+
+In return, you lose the entire library ecosystem...
+but hey, you're in control.
