Haskell.nix's default.nix is now a function that needs to be called
and hackage-package can no longer rely on the default internal GHC so
compiler-nix-name needs to be specified explicitly.

This tutorial got outdated. The haskell.nix revision could be pinned to avoid confusion/frustration for new users.
OTOH relying on master means complaints arise sooner and we're forced to keep the examples up to date. Working examples for an old revision would only delay the moment of confusion/frustration to when the users switch to a more recent revision.

Haskell.nix's `default.nix` is now a function that needs to be called
and `hackage-package` can no longer rely on the default internal GHC so
`compiler-nix-name` needs to be specified explicitly.
