Readme

GHC's functionality can be useful for more things than just compiling Haskell programs. Important use cases are programs that analyse (and perhaps transform) Haskell code. Others include loading Haskell code dynamically in a GHCi-like manner. For this reason, a lot of GHC's functionality is made available through this package.

See https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/commentary/compiler for more information.
