Sounds great!
Here are a few feature requests:
The I/O pair ([-1,4,-6],[1,4,6]) could yield "map abs" as a suggestion :)
The pairs ('a',False) and ('*',True) could yield "not . isAlpha" etc.
I realize that this (at least the composition part) will probably
increase complexity beyond what's acceptable...

Hi,
I was looking at hoogle documentation when I remembered that there is some nice, but quite unusable, feature of squeak (smalltalk) which allows you to search function in the library by giving a list of pairs of inputs/ouputs.
When I'm saying that it is quite unusable, I mean that squeak has to try _every_ function, some of which may be very slow to deliver a result, or require some side effects.
But, piggibacking such a feature on top of hoogle would surely be more efficient:
1. infer types for arguments and outout 2. look for matching functions using google 3. test them
Has anyone tried that before? If not I would be glad to.
