[Haskell-cafe] (automatically) adding import statements in vim

[Adam Bergmark]

Hi Daniel,

database, right?

Right.

in
conjunction with a 'cabal sandbox', only the modules of the packages are
considered,
which your project depends on, and this information is dynamically
"established"
by 'hdevtools' reading the package database of the 'cabal sandbox'.

I recall Erik and others discussing ways of restricting halberd to a
sandbox as well, but you'd have to ask him about the progress.

Cheers,
Adam
