Dependencies
------------
One of the requirements of this package is to restrict ourselves to "core"
dependencies. The definition of core is still to be decided, but here's a
working start:
* *No* dependency on system libraries, beyond that which is required by other
dependencies.
* Anything which ships with GHC. *However*, we must retain compatibility with
versions of those packages going back to at least GHC 7.4, and preferably
earlier.
* text, once again with backwards compatibility for versions included with
legacy Haskell Platform. In other words, 0.11.2 support is required.
* network, support back to 2.3. We do *not* need to support the
network/network-bytestring split.
* stm, preferably all the way back to 2.1.
* transformers
For debate:
* Other Haskell Platform packages, especially vector and attoparsec.
