Comment (by simonpj):
Yes, GHC's API and plugin interface exists to make it possible (and as
easy as possible) to build new tools on top of GHC. It has evolved over
time, but needs love, and thoughtful development. So thank you for
offering some concrete suggestions.
Clearly we want any new extensions to serve as wide a group of clients as
possible. Sharing the proposals as a GHC proposal has proved to be a very
effective way to improve ideas by discussing them with others.
It would really help to have a couple of example use-cases to motivate
each of the proposed plugin extensions.
Thanks!
