More External Core questions

Textual is something I doubt has much benefit. Yhc.Core has no textual
syntax, and we've never wanted one. How about .hcr being just .hi but
with complete bodies for all functions?

If you do pick that route, you may end up with a lot less maintenance
work, and can spend more time implementing a standalone library for
reading GHC Core :-)

Thanks
