So, that said, here's my contribution to the problem: fast-tags, haskell tag generator #6.

I like that it doesn't give duplicate entries for type signatures and bindings. I'd like an option to recurse a directory, but i guess find+xargs will do. Even better: perhaps it could read a .cabal file and figure out source files from that. Maybe overkill, just a thought.

I dunno, I use zsh and just do **/*.hs*. I do have a dependency chaser that looks at imports to figure out all the modules, but since the code I'm editing is not always attached to the rest of the program, especially if it's work in progress, fast-tags **/*.hs* is still the simplest and best. And in practice I hook it up to the editor's write command so a complete initialization is only needed the first time.
