Joey, thanks for the answer. About my use case: I would like to implement some tool in haskell to visualize various aspects of elm packages as graphs (as I am quite crazy about using graphs to understand software).
For example 1) package dependencies: nodes = packages; edge from X to Y meaning X declares dependency on Y 2) module dependencies: nodes = modules from given package; edge from X to Y meaning module X imports module Y 3) implementation dependencies inside a module: nodes = top-level functions in the module; edge from X to Y means function declaration X uses Y on its right side It would be nice to have some Haskell library available to get access to elm ASTs (even better in some canonical form - when package/module data are available for every function in the source code).
