[Haskell-cafe] GHC core packages: same core?

[Dimitry Golubovsky]

Max,

Thanks for the explanation. So, the extcore library is expected to
match the spec in
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.10.4/html/ext-core/core.pdf and the
core itself can be produced with -fext-core, correct? I think it might
be interesting for people working on alternative backends (inlcuding
myself).
