Hi all,
I'm writing code for Emacs's haskell-mode, and it's necessary at one point
to be able to find out the package a given module is defined in. The only
way of doing this currently is to call ghc-pkg field <package> exposed-
modules for every package, then building a lookup table of modules to
packages. Could we have one of:
1. A way to batch call ghc-pkg once to fetch the exposed-modules (or any
field, in fact, as we need to fetch haddock-html for each package as well)
for all packages?
2. A way to lookup which package(s) a given module is defined in from
ghc-pkg?
Cheers,
-David House
