--make does not cooperate with -hide-package which causes problems for xmonad like configurations
If there is -hide-package with --make all packages are hidden (as if no --make mode was enabled).
It causes problems especially given the current migration from mtl to transformers + monads-fd/monads-tf. Pragma {-# OPTIONS_GHC -package xyz #-} does not work as well.
Currently workarounds:
- Hide package manually. As mtl is still used it might or might not be an option. Also it requires user intervention for configuration.
- Specify the all packages. Not an option as configurated program does not know all packages configuration file is using in advance.
- Do not hide packages. Requires extentions like PackageImports which makes the configuration harder for newcommers which tries to configure program.
