There is at this time, no attempt to provide any additional interface, "higher level" or otherwise, in these packages. The key property of `ghc-lib-parser`/`ghc-lib` that makes them useful to tool developers (e.g. HLint) is that they can utilize the GHC API without being bound to a specific compiler version to do so. -- Shayne Fletcher
