Hi Kartik,
Tom was going to give a go at implementing this a month ago, I'm not
sure if he got anywhere - I'll ask him. This would be useful for
various other Yhc.Core tools as well.
Thanks
Neil

Hello, When I compile a program that contains a lambda, the compiler assigns it a name like LAMBDA245. Is there any simple way to retrieve the body of the lambda, in an automated way, perhaps by modifying the compiler?
I'm building a tracer/debugger that shows the structure of the heap, using a redex trail-like data structure, and it describes indirections in the heap well, except when lambdas are involved. In the latter case, the compiler-generated names obviously mean nothing to the user and don't help him identify which of the lambdas in the code was evaluated. Is there any easy way to map the name of the lambda to its body (as Haskell source, not bytecode) without doing a source-to-source transformation? Thanks.
