Yes. > You really want to use GHC's lexer, because otherwise you > have to write another lexer. I don't mind writing a lexer that just collects the comments. It should be simpler than a full Haskell lexer, right? It wouldn't need to handle layout, for instance. Using GHC is also a good option. > So a flag to GHC's lexer that says whether it > should return comments or not seems like a reasonable way to go.
