Overall, I think Hoogle is an increadibly neat tool. I've never seen 
anything else like it. (But then, how many other languages let you 
virtually figure out what a function does just by its type signature?)

I shudder to think what Hoogle will be like if they ever get round to 
adding MPTCs, ATs, rank-Ns and existential types to the language 
standard... Good luck with searching for that! ;-)

OOC, how big is Hoogle and how long did it take to do?
