 %description
 'base-orphans' defines orphan instances that mimic instances available in later
-versions of 'base' to a wider (older) range of compilers.
-'base-orphans' does not export anything except the orphan instances themselves
-and complements '<http://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-compat base-compat>'.
-See the README for what instances are covered:
-<https://github.com/haskell-compat/base-orphans#readme>. See also the
