Excellent!  I have a couple of new package definitions and a few minor
updates that I wanted to push to the master branch tomorrow.  (These
updates work fine with with GHC 8.0.x AFAICT, but I haven’t subjected
them to much testing.)

Shall we push that to a wip-haskell branch in the Guix repository on
Savannah instead?  Then we could more easily let ci.guix.info build out
the branch.
