Cool, that's awesome. But I don't see any Haddock docs? Or a Cabal Setup.hs? Would it be much trouble to add them?

Bear in mind HNOP compiles just to an executable file, so it doesn't really have a Haskell API.

One interesting line of development would be to spin off the core functionality into a separate library, to provide no-op services to other Haskell applications.

I'm sorry; I know this is a serious discussion (either that or everyone involved in this discussion has a more subtle sense of humor than I), but this sentence made me laugh out loud... :-)

"no-op services"? That's just great!

Initially I assumed it was just a joke, and my response was meant to be tongue-in-cheek (why would you need Haddock docs for this!?), but there has been a semi-serious thread about the executable size, so who knows anymore...
