[Haskell] elementary tracing for Haskell

[Philip Wadler]

Are there any tools for beginning programmers that give traces of 
Haskell programs?  I want something like the following.  Given the 
defintion

	sum [] = 0
	sum (x:xs) = x + sum xs

typing

	sum [1,2,3]

should yield this trace

	sum [1,2,3]
	1 + sum [2,3]
	1 + 2 + sum [3]
	1 + 2 + 3 + sum []
	1 + 2 + 3 + 0
	1 + 2 + 3
	1 + 5
	6

I know there are advanced tools like Hat, but (unless I'm missing 
something) they don't yield anything as naive as the above, and it's 
naive users I'm trying to help here.  -- P

PS.  Google search on "Haskell trace" yields lots on Hat, plus the 
following.


The Mystery of Brigadier General Harry L. Haskell
... we have developed a short biography of General Haskell and been 
able to trace the
  locations where he lived, and, possibly, how the medal came into my 
family. ...
