This is no biggie, and I can workaround it easy by having an override
extra = dontCheckGHCJS super.extra;
but if it can be fixed, all the better!
I think GHCJS adding extra functions to a standard library is not a particularly smart move... They should have added isWindows to System.Info on all versions of Haskell instead.
That said, I'd accept a patch that made ifdef GHCJS then don't define isWindows but reexport the filepath one that GHCJS defines. That should give you compatibility and also work with everything that depends on extra. PR welcome (since I have no way of testing it), but happy to sketch out a roughly working patch if that helps.
