Perhaps a more general solution would be for GHC to take the
internet explorer route and require a special javascript include
in each source file to get compatibility :)<br>

<pre wrap="">It has been pointed out before that in order for Safe Haskell to be
useful, libraries (especially core libraries) should be annotated
properly with Safe Haskell LANGUAGE pragmas.
However, that would make these libraries unusable with alternative
Haskell implementations, even if otherwise they these libraries are
Haskell2010.
To quote the standard:
If a Haskell implementation does not recognize or support a particular
language feature that a source file requests (or cannot support the
combination of language features requested), any attempt to compile or
otherwise use that file with that Haskell implementation must fail
with an error.
Should it be advised to surround safe annotations with CPP #ifs?
Or does anyone see a better way out of this contradiction?

...but IIRC CPP isn't part of Haskell2010, or is it?

<pre wrap="">
It isn't indeed. But:
1) it's a very basic extension which is supported by (almost?) all
existing implementations; or
2) if you want to be 100% Haskell2010, you can name your file *.cpphs and
let Cabal do preprocessing.
1) is a compromise and 2) is not very practical, so I'm eager to hear
other alternatives.
