Module name to package name index

Is there something available which can answer questions like this - what all packages on Hackage export "Data.List" module? Another useful question could be - what all packages export symbol named 'x'? Hackage search or hoogle are not helpful in providing a precise answer to these. I am assuming that related functionality usually lands up in the same part of the module namespace. This fact can help us in discovering related or alternative packages or functions available in a given area. For example when I am looking for list related functions I can search for who all exports "Data.List". I guess creating such an index should not be difficult. All the necessary information is available in the packages' .cabal files, we just need to extract it and create a module name to package name index. -harendra

You can see a list of all modules for each Stackage snapshot, eg

That's cool! That's what I wanted.
I wish we could have the same thing available on Hackage as well. Some of
the packages (NLP related) that I was looking at are only available on
Hackage.
