Description
There two things I'd like to discuss about the incremental Haskell builds support that lingering in Nixpkgs for some time.
First off, has anyone here managed to use incremental builds with haskell-flake? The whole thing seems quite boilerplate-y, and honestly, I've been struggling to get it to work smoothly with it. If you've got any tips or experiences to share, I'd really appreciate it.
Secondly, given how complex yet useful this feature could be, I'm thinking maybe we could integrate support for it. This way, we might cut down on the extra setup steps and make this feature a lot easier for everyone, especially for those of us who aren't too keen on dealing with all that setup hassle.

Research direction
Read the Nixpkgs manual section on incremental Haskell builds and compare its setup requirements with haskell-flake. Investigate the existing boilerplate and determine the scope of integrating this support; the work is done only when a concrete, maintainable integration path and its expected user setup are established.
