Option to emit GHC versions in Nix-like format?

[amesgen]

Nix (at least in both in nixpkgs and haskell.nix) usually represents GHC versions as e.g. ghc865/ghc8107/ghc944. Would you be open to a convenience flag that allows to emit the GHC versions in this format, or do you consider this out of scope for this project?

Yes I would! Thank you for this suggestion. :)

Hello @Kleidukos Are you open for contributions for this?

[Kleidukos]

I am still open to contributions for this ticket, indeed. :)
Maybe a --compiler-format=nixpkgs flag could do the job, and avoid a proliferation of modifiers (in the form of switches) that could be mutually incompatible in the future?

@CristhianMotoche Is this still something you need?

Hello @Kleidukos Thanks for reaching out. No, I don't think it's going to be something that we need in the short term.
