Enable Unicode Syntax in cabal

I want to enabled Unicode syntax(UnicodeSyntax extension, base-unicode-symbols package and the containers-unicode-symbols). I don't want to enable per file, that is far too tedious. How do I enable all three in this .cabal file?

https://github.com/styx/Raincat/blob/master/Raincat.cabal

This is 2013 and I want to use Unicode, not ASCII.

Add to your extensions field:

extensions: UnicodeSyntax

in your .cabal file. and also add dependencies on those libraries as well:

build-depends: base-unicode-symbols

etc.

Note that althought it is indeed 2013, that doesn't mean you should be using a non-standard Prelude -- these packages have relatively few users, so you risk making your code more obscure.
