I am trying to avoid having a type parameter for DynFlags, and so far the only thing that needs it is the hooks. I am currently working it through without hooks in DynFlags, and when I have something concrete I will ask againfor suggestions. I just wanted an initial test of the waters to make sure there was no a priori reason not to do it. On Fri, Sep 26, 2014 at 10:09 AM, GHC wrote:

Comment (by simonpj):

You'll need to be much more explicit before anyone is likely to venture an opinion. What is the impact of "managed separately"? What is the motivation for making a change at all?
