5873,runghc does not exist in versioned form,JamesFisher,,"GHC provides several shell commands: {{{ghc}}}, {{{ghci}}}, {{{ghc-pkg}}}, {{{runghc}}}, {{{runhaskell}}}, and possibly others.

The {{{ghc}}}, {{{ghci}}} and {{{ghc-pkg}}} also have ""versioned"" forms—for instance, I also have available {{{ghc-7.0.3}}} and {{{ghc-7.4.1}}}.

However, {{{runghc}}} does not.  This means I have no easy option when requiring a specific GHC version to run a Haskell file.  This also means an executable Haskell file cannot easily express a dependency on a specific version of GHC, which may be useful in some cases.

Having to type {{{runghc -f `which ghc-7.0.3`}}} is tedious overhead when doing this many times in a day.  Furthermore, this does not appear to work at all with a shebang'd file.",feature request,closed,normal,7.6.1,None,7.4.1,fixed,,,Unknown/Multiple,Unknown/Multiple,None/Unknown,Unknown,,,,
