can we detect annotations like `{-# ANN module "HLint: ignore Reduce duplication" #-}` easily? Right now this will result (without -fexternal-interpreter or a stage2 compiler) in
Ignoring ANN annotation, because this is a stage-1 compiler without -fexternal-interpreter or doesn't support GHCi
However, I do not see why this should require the external interpreter at all. This looks to me more like an informational comment?
As I understand it, ANNotations are intended for use with ghc plugins; hlint's use of them is not *quite* an abuse, since it is relying on haskell-src-exts handling of them rather than ghc's. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
