Comment:

 I'd like to work on this task as my first patch to GHC. I think the idea
 suggested by dfranke in #1966 is a good starting point.

 Take some large Haskell projects and:

 1. Parse them
 1. Pretty-print them
 1. Reparse the output
 1. Pretty-print again

 and verify that step 3 succeeds and the outputs of steps 2 and 4 match.
