I've noticed that there is talk of adding a better flags parser to the RTS and this seems like a good place to start (less likely to break things!). Ticket: #4243
Is anyone currently working in this area or have plans to start work in this area?
There was someone else looking at it... I forget who. Try searching the archives. I recall that when I was starting with GHC I considered working on this. Improving flag parser sounds like a good first step for a beginner because: a) it is precisly localized in one place (more or less); b) it doesn't require deep theoretical knowledge.
