They don't seem to have worked for a long time nor is there a
relevant presence of Cabal devs on Slack.

Adds a badge showing the number of people helping this repo on CodeTriage.

## What is CodeTriage?

CodeTriage is an Open Source app that is designed to make contributing to Open Source projects easier. It works by sending subscribers a few open issues in their inbox. If subscribers get busy, there is an algorithm that backs off issue load so they do not get overwhelmed

I've so often failed to find that link. Let's just add it to the readme.

I notice imports like

    import qualified Text.PrettyPrint as Disp
          ( Doc, render, char, text )

which seem overly precise to me, when `Disp.` is only used
locally as a module prefix, and there's no other imports sharing
the same module prefix.

Instead, it should suffice to either use

    import qualified Text.PrettyPrint as Disp

or

    import Text.PrettyPrint
          ( Doc, render, char, text )

or in rare cases even

    import Text.PrettyPrint as Disp
          ( Doc, render, char, text )

Hence this relaxes the coding guidelines to allow these simpler forms
to be used.

I've been failing to find this information a few times already. And I still remember not being able to find it the first time, without searching for quite a while. I hope this adds clarity to installing Cabal without cabal, and those who end up with just an unpacked ghc an no cabal to use.

It wasn't clear what "three-year support window for cabal-install"
means re: self-upgrade.

7.2.2 was released on Nov 11 2011, so we don't have to support it in
the 2.0 release.

For some reason github is finicky when it comes to local links. Also,
I'm dyslexic it seems when it comes to Markdown's link syntax.
