Comment (by hvr):

 Replying to [comment:5 alanz]:
 > An interim step would be to add tests to ghc/ghci that explicitly
 exercise the features currently used in haskell-mod and/or Intero

 Note that Intero is irrelevant in this context; Intero started as a fork
 of http://hackage.haskell.org/package/ghci-ng-7.6.3.5 and has diverged
 from GHCi's roots ever since without contributing back. So let's just
 focus on haskell-mode and keep Intero out of this please.
