However, I still think having more semantically rich messages would be great for tooling authors.
I have a student doing an independent study with me next semester who has expressed an interest in doing this. We've only really started the conversations on what she will work on, but at the moment, refactoring `SDoc` along the lines of comment:3 seems like the leading candidate. So there is reason to be hopeful about this! -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8809#comment:46 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
