So I find myself playing around with XMonad source code.

Have you seen the "XMonad deconstructed" videos? They're very well done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63MpfyZUcrU (part 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivdyLaH3PhY (part 2)

Yes, I have watched these and i agree with you. They are quite well done. I have found them very helpful. Sadly they don't touch much on X event handling within XMonad, which is what I am most interested in.

I'd like the editor/IDE to tell me the type of a thing, or at least the module it is defined in.

Leksah and EclipseFP are two options you might want to consider. You can find links to them, and information about other options here:

Leksah sound good, although perhaps a little "heavier" than I would like. I'm not a huge fan of eclipse, though I may take a look at eclipsefp.
