= A Haskell library package in the nixpkgs repo (without a `.cabal` file)

Occasionally you might want to run a short Haskell program that depends on a Haskell library,
but you don't want to bother writing a cabal file.
Example: Access the `containers` package from the `haskellPackages` set in the nixpkgs repo.
[source,nix,linenums,highlight='11,16']
.flake.nix
....
include::flake.nix[]
....
Here's a short Haskell program that uses it.
[source,haskell,linenums]
.Main.hs
....
include::Main.hs[]
....
Here's a demonstration using the program.
....
$# ../../../../../start-shell nix develop <<EOL
$ runghc Main.hs
$# EOL
....
////
Good adoc0 scripts clean up after themselves.
$ cd .. ; rm -rf tempwork # clean up
////
