Build failures with GHC < 8

[sjakobi]

See https://matrix.hackage.haskell.org/#/package/vector-th-unbox

For 7.10.3, the error is

Data/Vector/Unboxed/Deriving.hs:4:14:
    Unsupported extension: TemplateHaskellQuotes

[pacak]

Due to a06a865, I don't think this support is coming back.

[sjakobi]

I don't really have an opinion on which GHC versions this package supports. I just encountered this issue in a package that depends on vector-th-unbox via criterion (via statistics).

In any case, could you tighten the lower bound on base for v0.2.2 with a Hackage revision?

[pacak]

Sounds like a good idea, will do.

[sjakobi]

Thanks for the revision! :)

FYI, you can add other-extensions: TemplateHaskellQuotes (in revision!) and it would had similar effect, but were semantically more correct.

@sjakobi as you are a Hackage Trustee, don't hesitate to make revisions yourself, especially it's in version which solver picks up eagerly (i.e. latest ones) and e.g. breaks some other packages CI etc. (= that's our job).
