In this case the primary concern would be that Herbie really needs to have an install of racket as well to do its job right. Between that and a database, there are a lot of things that aren't usually involved in a normal GHC install.

Very nice!

Now I just need to figure out how to extract the results of these analyses and see if I can understand and apply them manually to what libraries of mine are affected, so that folks who won't or can't run this plugin can derive the benefits.
