Simplifying Core pretty-printing via GHC API?

[Conal Elliott]

I think I found an answer: invoke
parseStaticFlags<http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.4.1/html/libraries/ghc/GHC.html#v:parseStaticFlags>,
passing in the flags specified as if on the ghc command line. For instance:

    parseStaticFlags $ noLoc <$> ["-dsuppress-uniques",
"-dsuppress-type-applications", "-dsuppress-idinfo"]

This call must be made before a compilation gets made. I'm (now) doing it
before calling runGhc for the first time.

Johan: I'm working toward making a GHC back-end that maps from Core to a
programmable logic architecture (similar to FPGA).
