I've been trying to improve the Haskell tooling we have here on Guix, but
I ran into this problem: if I try to do ~guix import hackage
cabal-helper~ it fails with:
Syntax error: unexpected token : common (at line 76, column 0)
Syntax error: unexpected end of input
guix import: error: failed to download cabal file for package 'cabal-helper'
If I import ghc-mod (which depends on cabal-helper) recursively, I get this:
Syntax error: unexpected token : common (at line 76, column 0)
Syntax error: unexpected end of input

It appears that the guix cabal parser (in guix/import/cabal.scm) isn’t aware
of `common` stanzas.
https://www.haskell.org/cabal/users-guide/developing-packages.html#pkg-section-common-common
Note that there’s quite a few issues with the cabal parser, and the format is pretty
baroque, to the extent that I wonder whether it wouldn’t be better to delegate the
parsing to cabal itself.
E.g.:
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=35743
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=36690
I also remember some issue with braces instead of indentation, but can’t find a bug
report right now.

Guix has had support for the `common` stanza for quite a while now and
importing cabal-helper works. Closing.
