I'm not sure how mature Scion is now, but the integration should
provide for a lot of smart integration with GHC like that. If I
remember correctly, it should be possible to, right now, query
functions for their types smartly (i.e. actually running through GHC),
but also do a lot of stuff with the parser, like automatically
dollarify function calls (f x => f $ x, but using the fairly smart
parser).

I absolutely agree and issue #253 [1] would take us a long ways in the
right direction.
