Load functions from broken source code files?
Is there some way in GHCi to load a single function from a broken source code file? E.g, you're writing a program, the main function is incomplete, and half the other functions are broken, but you are developing one function and you just want to load in the current version of that, reload it after some editing, and so forth. I can see how normally that would not be a good idea, but I was wondering if there was some hackish way to do it that was fairly easy and quick. -- frigidcode.com theologia.indicium.us
You should be able to do this with the help of your IDE.
For example, I've written a vim plugin to just load the modules
referenced rather than the functions for a file I'm working on. You
could do the same for a visual selection of code. Also, I believe that
emacs can load arbitrary code sections into ghci for you.

I stub things out with the function 'undefined', which can get me part of the way to typechecking.
