Research direction

Start by inspecting the package components and benchmark configuration, then check how cabal-install solves the dependencies involved in the splitmix testing loop. Done means the public benchmarks sublibrary is removed or separated into a benchmark executable/package without causing unnecessary dependencies or the dependency cycle.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Due how cabal-install works, all components are always solved for, and this causes unnecessary dependencies.

In case of splitmix it causes a dependency loop, so splitmix cannot test itself (or it should drop dependency on vector in tests).

Move the benchmarks into separate package, or fold into the benchmarks executable.

I'm not sure why benchmarks-O2 sublibrary is public in the first place, it isn't mentioned in the changelog.
