It doesn't sound too hard, and I'd be glad to see a patch for it; and
feel free to open a GitHub issue.

Is there a possibility for -dumpTypes to also dump values in let bindings?

Well, you could take advantage of the type-inference daemon and

I think that would get me to the first level: getting types of

This is something that would definitely be worth it for me, so
