MicroHs support #439
Description
Maybe you've already heard of MicroHs. It is a small Haskell compiler written by @augustss using combinators. Since primitive is a dependency for many libraries, I'm interested in getting it to work with MicroHs. While primitive uses a lot of GHC primitives, MicroHs provides wrappers for some of them in ghc-compat (which is an implicit dependency for all MicroHs packages), and can be added as needed. MicroHs also has primitives for arrays etc.
Are you, the maintainers of primitive, interested in supporting MicroHs in this package? It would require some additional CPP and code, but a lot should be able to be covered by ghc-compat. The alternative is to fork primitive as primitive-mhs and modify MicroCabal (the build tool MicroHs uses) to always use the fork. This is already done for other packages (in particular array and random), so it wouldn't be difficult.
Either way, there is still some time until MicroHs can be supported, since it doesn't have TypeFamilies yet.
