I'd advocate keeping the meta-information in the source code. I have a vision of a single source tree used by all the compilers, kept in a CVS repo, with documentation generated by HaskellDoc, and meta-information in the source and hence also the docs.
It's a great vision. Yes, I'd agree that all the information should be in the source code. Tools to extract and manipulate meta-information can then be optional rather than mandatory. Regards, Malcolm
