`dump-core` a prettier GHC core viewer

Sounds good…but there are no instructions on what it does, screen shots, why one might want it, how to install, how to use…  Both URLs below are the same

Hello,

Over the holidays I wrote a small GHC plugin to help me do some low-level optimizations of Haskell code.  I thought it might be of use to other people too, so please try it out!

When enabled, the plugin will save the Core generated by GHC in JSON format, and also render it in HTML for human inspection.

The plugin is available on Hackage:
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/dump-core<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fhackage.haskell.org%2Fpackage%2Fdump-core&data=02%7C01%7Csimonpj%40microsoft.com%7C6924b842575e4f63218308d43b19f45e%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636198430040472262&sdata=u5N0HOqiy38bvX%2FOC%2BKaEdtdJTYtbQAyxL%2Fvkk2wZ4M%3D&reserved=0>

The instructions on how to use it are in the README file.
You may also read about it at the github page:
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/dump-core<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fhackage.haskell.org%2Fpackage%2Fdump-core&data=02%7C01%7Csimonpj%40microsoft.com%7C6924b842575e4f63218308d43b19f45e%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636198430040472262&sdata=u5N0HOqiy38bvX%2FOC%2BKaEdtdJTYtbQAyxL%2Fvkk2wZ4M%3D&reserved=0>

There are many things that could probably be improved, just let me know.  Also, if you are good at design, I could use some help making things look prettier :)

Happy hacking,
-Iavor
