Reading your (excellent) reply to Joachim, that would be an excellent thing to do.

Please comment it copiously with a concrete example (a la Joachim).

Was the FastString Table intentionally left out of the reinitializeGlobals mechanism?

This has lead to some confusion in using pieces of the front-end within GHC plugins.

Is there foreseeable harm in adding it? I've done so locally, and minimal testing seems fine.

Thanks.
