Hello,
I suspect that the function recursion composition I have used is not
working very well, so I'm trying to learn how to use the debugger to
understand what is going on, except I don't really understand the output of
the GHCi debugger or what is going on very well. I have a main function
called 'Analysis' in a library that analyzes a string. I've used :break
Analysis and then called :trace and then repeatedly typed :continue, but
there are a number of steps between one continue and the next
return-and-call of output that I'm not sure I understand. Suggestions on
better debugging methods, or even how to fully understand this output,
would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.

For pure functions, debug [1] is Godsent.
