Currently AST declarations, their relate utilities, and `Outputable` instances are defined in the same files. Does anyone object to moving `Outputable` instances to separate files? The purpose is to gradually identify reusable functionalities, group them together, polish them (e.g., remove some unnecessary dependencies), and expose them to the end-users. At this stage, I don't expect any changes outside hsSyn. /Shayan
I don’t object. (They’d be orphan instances, so the interface file will always be loaded; but that’s probably ok.

Sounds reasonable to me. Cheers, - Ben
