Fyi, http://matrix.hackage.haskell.org/package/period (even though build-depends claims so)

Thanks, I was too careless with the versions. Will try to fix it for GHCs older than 7.10.

[richsmith92]

Fixed for GHC 7.8 in 9e8a473 . I believe it must work for some previous versions as well. @hvr By the chance, do you know how to test a package against multiple GHC versions?
