Now I'm wondering whether the approaches I have in mind are sensible or if anyone can think of a better way to achieve my goals? Is there a way to extend GHCi without copying some of its source code? Is there a chance of having these features flow back into mainline GHCi once they are properly implemented?
I can't really help here. But I'm interested in more powerful ways to extend GHCi, too. I'm mostly interested in things that will speedup development (e.g. Hoogle tab-completion, integration of testing tools). I think once we have a more powerful API to hook things into a running GHCi, people will create useful things that you wouldn't have imagined beforehand. Cheers, Simon
