Can't build the 'snap' executable with --enable-executable-dynamic

If you try building snap
like so:
$ cabal install snap --enable-executable-dynamic
It will eventually fail when building the snap
executable because of the executable's use of TH. The fix is quite easy: add extensions: TemplateHaskell
to the Executable snap
block in snap.cabal
.
Building a dynamic/profiling library or executable that uses TH requires that it gets built twice: once the vanilla way, and then the dynamic/profiling way. Cabal handles this edge case as long as it knows that TH is in use.
