A custom prelude with no dependencies apart from base.
This package has the following goals:
* Provide a base like sets of modules that provide a consistent set of
features and bugfixes across multiple versions of GHC (unlike base).
* Provide a better and more efficient prelude than base's prelude.
* Be self-sufficient: no external dependencies apart from base.
* Provide better data-types: packed unicode string by default, arrays.
* Better numerical classes that better represent mathematical thing
(No more all-in-one Num).
* Better I/O system with less Lazy IO.
* Usual partial functions distinguished through type system.
