strange, why did I miss that?

But I can’t get it to work, even looking up an element that I took from
the GRE itself returns []:

    let e' = head (head (occEnvElts env))
    putMsgS $ showSDoc dflags (ppr e')
    putMsgS $ showSDoc dflags (ppr (lookupGRE_RdrName (nameRdrName (gre_name e')) env))

prints:
        
        GHC.NT.Type.NT
          imported from `GHC.NT.Type' at GHC/NT.hs:5:1-18
          (and originally defined at GHC/NT/Type.hs:6:6-7)
        []
        
Also, trying to construct a RdrName that I can look up fails:

    let rdrName = mkRdrQual (mkModuleName "GHC.NT.Type") (mkTcOcc "NT")
    putMsgS $ showSDoc dflags (ppr (lookupGRE_RdrName rdrName env))

prints also just [].

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Joachim
