Publish on Hackage #3

Hi,

The library looks useful. In my case I want to use Metamorphosis to shrink output only fields from BigQuery types. e.g. https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/rest/v2/datasets#resource:-dataset. A big product type such as Dataset has a few mandatory fields used only for sending responses.

I was looking for haddocks (haddocks is especially useful for TH functions accepting DSL), but it turned out that the library is still not published on Hackage.

That seem to be the exact use case for Metamorphosis. However I not sure I understand your comment about Haddocks. About hackage, is that to be able to see the doc or to use it (I use stack so I just specify the github url in stack.yml).

I use nix so pulling the lib is not a problem for me either. Publishing library onto hackage would attract more users. I know giving advice about names is counterproductive, but I give it a try. As far as I know cabal packages currently follow low-case convention. QuickCheck is old library. So having capital letter in the name might scary away new potential users.

That's a valid point. Let me know if you find it usefull and I'll publish it then.
