Description
This was noticed in https://github.com/ekmett/ansi-wl-pprint/pull/32#issue-1712218860, but I've found some other incompatibilities:
- There's no `Pretty a => Pretty (Maybe a)` instance, which old code may rely on.
- We have `Doc = Doc AnsiStyle`, which means that any existing `Pretty` instances which use basic functions like [`text`](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/ansi-wl-pprint-1.0.2/docs/Text-PrettyPrint-ANSI-Leijen.html#v:text) no longer compile, since `prettyprinter`'s `pretty` has to be annotation-polymorphic.
These are not easily solved, so I think the README ought to just be clearer about the limitations.
This has caused issues for some `ansi-wl-pprint`-dependent packages, such as `tmp-postgres`.
