HIE Files

[Zubin Duggal]

Hello,

I will be working on a GSOC project that will allow GHC to output a new
.hie file to be written next to .hi files. It will contain information
about the typechecked Haskell AST, allowing tooling(like haddocks
--hyperlinked-source and haskell-ide-engine) to work without having to
parse, rename and typecheck files all over again.

I have made a GHC wiki page containing more details here:

https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/HIEFiles

Looking forward to any comments and suggestions.

Thanks,
Zubin.
