[Haskell-cafe] getting exported original names using the GHC API

[AlanKim Zimmerman]

If you use the ParsedSource representation,
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/ghc-7.6.3/HsSyn.html#t:HsModule,
the LIE entry still has a RdrName which is represented as

(IEVar
      (Qual {ModuleName: L} {OccName: find})))])
