If this is what you want, this is what Hoogle 4 shall have! It is purely a question of a very very light interface around Hoogle - absolutely all the code is already there.
And when will Hoogle 4 be more than vapourwear? :) I guess the answer is 'whenever people stop asking me and start contributing patches' ;) Seriously, though, this sounds perfect. In fact, in terms of writing Emacs integration, I think enough information is there to be able to use the current hoodoc interface (which involves knowing the module it's defined in, but not the package). In terms of a human interface, though, I think having to specify the module is too much of a burden, so I'll wait on Hoogle 4. Thanks for letting us know about hoodoc. -- -David House, dmhouse@gmail.com
