Re: TH flag for aeson

[Jeremy Shaw <jeremy@n-heptane.com>]

It is against cabal policy for the API to change as a result of enabling/disabling flags. That is because there is no way to depend on a version of aeson with TH enabled.

The only proper work-around that I know is to create a separate aeson-th package which contains the .TH module.

Also the tests can't be run on platforms without threaded runtime.
In our case, sparc has TH but no RTS.
