Exactly. In (most) other programming languages it would be impossible
for a tool to automatically know which flow to concentrate
on/visualize but in Haskell it should be at least theoretically
possible to inspect a package/module and trace the IO monad (beginning
in main for an executable) in the code and visualize it as a control
flow graph. I think it would probably be a great tool that would help
one to inspect the architecture.
