Fork `basement`? As `baseplate`?

Ambrose: > Is there a Haskell library that wraps shelling out to curl? Maybe that’s not too much of a bad idea in fact. There’s some significant code regarding this in both Cabal and GHCup that could be factored out. Dealing with all the cli options (especially in a portable manner) is not easy, then all the stuff around etags etc. * ghcup-hs/lib/GHCup/Download.hs at master · haskell/ghcup-hs · GitHub * cabal/cabal-install/src/Distribution/Client/HttpUtils.hs at master · haskell/cabal · GitHub But my guess is that any such wrapper would be fairly opinionated and simplified. But I feel we’re going increasingly off-topic.
