[GHC] #16380: HPC's CLI is awkward

I would expect all of the following commands to work: {{{ hpc --version hpc --help hpc markup --help }}} Currently these commands are: {{{ hpc version hpc help hpc help markup }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16380 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

It would be great if someone could offer to look after it. It's just a standard (albeit a bit dated) Haskell executable so anyone able to use GHC should be able pick it up without any trouble. Alternatively, I have long wondered whether GHC should even be in the business of offering tools like `hpc` and `hp2ps`. I rather wonder whether we might not be better off simply doing a better job of documenting the formats and interfaces exposed by GHC and leave the tooling to be provided by Hackage packages. In the case of `hp2ps`, this may already be the case: I nearly always use `hp2pretty` instead of `hp2ps` and I suspect I'm not the only one. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16380#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
