RE: Module import and use in GHC plugin?

Plugin support is not well documented, and could do with some love. If someone would like to take it up, I'm sure it could be improved a lot.

I'd love to know a nicer way to do this, but what Ben Lippmeier did as a workaround is require a binding "repa_primitives = R.primitives" where repa_primitives is a record with references to all the primitive types you need. It's not great, but it works. Plugin code: http://code.ouroborus.net/repa/repa-head/repa-plugin/Data/Array/Repa/Plugin/... Primitives export: http://code.ouroborus.net/repa/repa-head/repa-series/Data/Array/Repa/Series/...

If it's not possible to do what I want, I'd be willing to require an explicit import (say "import qualified Foo") in client code, as a temporary workaround. So far I've been unable to import even from the base package. Maybe I'm missing something basic that you folks have learned. My simple & unsuccessful attempt is at https://github.com/conal/plugin-import-id . Help greatly appreciated.
