My question remains: what is the feature?   Agda has a sophisticated IDE; is that a key part of "the feature".  I expect so.

As I understand it, the feature is IDE *support*; they're trying to provide information for use by an IDE (or by hand, but I don't think that's key) that GHC currently makes somewhat difficult to get, from past discussions about how to pull various things out of the typechecker via ghc-api.
