Hi,

According to this page:

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/Cabal/Distribution-Simple.html

there's an available toplevel declaration named:

autoconfUserHooks

in Distribution.Simple. However:

ghci --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.8.2

ghci
Prelude> :m +Distribution.Simple
Prelude Distribution.Simple> :t autoconfUserHooks
<interactive>:1:0: Not in scope: `autoconfUserHooks'

What would the experienced Haskell programmer do in such
situation? Is there some way to ask ghci (or ghc) to list
all available declarations, in a way that I could '| grep'
it or save it to a file? Can I ask ghci to look for a
declaration inside all available modules in all available
packages?


Thanks,
Maurício
