maralorn	I feel like I am overlooking something because that didn’t feel as painful before …	12:18:04
Artem	maralorn: the very strict bounds that Ormolu puts on Cabal-syntax look strange. I'd ask on their bug tracker exactly the question you're posing above: if you use `ghc-lib-parser`, you probably want to span over at least couple of GHC, but you also always limit Cabal-syntax to one version, so this looks like mixed messages... They always bump Cabal-syntax when they bump ghc-lib-parser, so they at least understand some connection they just overly pessimistic about it it looks like.	15:10:21
maralorn	I guess using ghc-lib-parser might have other advantages than just the compatibility range …	15:14:22
