GHC as a library

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

You have easy access to the data decls:

In a ModuleInfo is a TypeEnv.
The range of the type env (gotten with typeEnvElts) are TyThings.
A TyThing can be
        a Id
        a Class
        a TyCon
        a DataCon

So just pull out those TyCons and away you go!  (Lots of accessor functions for TyCons in module TyCon.)

The Ids are the variables declared in the module, and they each have a type (use idType).


In exchange, would you like to document what you have learned?  Here for example:

Many thanks
