Enh. That's no reason not to *try* to be.
I agree. I'm just pointing out that these are somewhat comflicting
goals, and currently (it seems to me) GHC is more focused on being GHC.
(Which is not something I'm going to complain about too loudly. ;-)
I didn't see any way to access facilities other than
compilation/evaluation. (E.g., what type does this have, or please
desugar this.) But then, I didn't look very hard.
You might want to look at Shim (http://shim.haskellco.de/trac/) --- it
uses GHC-API to do things like asking for the type of arbitrary
variables or expressions.
I'll take a look...
