Hi, first of all thanks for working on this openly, it's useful :)
Cabal passes extensions that are not in its KnownExtensions type onwards with a simple warning:
Warning: Unknown extensions: DerivingVia
It would be convenient to be able to allow arbitrary text values for extensions at the Dhall level, additionally to the types generated from KnownExtensions in Extension.dhall by the "meta" code.
Very low priority I guess, since the workaround ({-# LANGUAGE <ext> #-}) is straightforward.
