There is a typechecker for Ext Core already, in 
fptools/ghc/utils/ext-core. It would probably take some work to adapt it
to be used with GHC, and to change it so it doesn't have the module names and
primitives from GHC 4.08 wired into it, but would adapting it be the right
thing to do? If so, I might have time to do it sometime.
