 Hoopl exports

 {{{#!hs
 showGraph :: Showing n -> Graph n e x -> String
 }}}

 But it doesn't export `Showing`. This doesn't make sense, as it's a user-
 supplied function. So to know what I should pass to `showGraph` I can only
 look at the source. `:i Showing` doesn't work.

 Below is a patch to export the innocent type synonym:

 {{{#!patch
 diff --git a/src/Compiler/Hoopl/Show.hs b/src/Compiler/Hoopl/Show.hs
 index 8a8b35f..66172b0 100644
 --- a/src/Compiler/Hoopl/Show.hs
 +++ b/src/Compiler/Hoopl/Show.hs
 @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@
  #endif

  module Compiler.Hoopl.Show
 -  ( showGraph, showFactBase
 +  ( showGraph, showFactBase, Showing
    )
  where
 }}}
