My congratulations to the development team; this is an important contribution to the community. You might want to use {-# OPTIONS_GHC #-} rather than {-# OPTIONS #-}, unless compatibility with older versions of GHC is a goal. Still, the pragma only turns on warnings, so it's harmless.

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 thinking something like this:
noop :: IO () -- generalise to other Monads?
Only IO makes sense really, since by definition every non-IO expression does nothing, so the only interesting way to do nothing is in the IO monad. I imagine this interface would be relatively stable. I'm not sure at this stage where in the module hierarchy we should place it, though. Cheers, Simon
