Yes, that *is* the intention!  But the GHC API is still something of a 
historical accident, rather than a carefully-designed artefact in its own 
right, and Claus is right to say that it's still moving.

Simon and I did some work on it last week, but we'd love it if someone with a 
"client hat" (Neil?!) wanted to look at it as a whole and propose a design.  
API design is not routine -- it's creative and needs good taste.
