Comment (by jcpetruzza):
IMO, the GHC-API in interactive mode can be used to build very cool IDE-
tools. Maybe an interactive refactoring tool is not the best example one
can think of, but I hope it still illustrates the idea.
In any case, the point I wanted to make is this: in interactive mode, the
typechecker behaves in a unique way and right now there is no way to turn
this off. Thus, one simply cannot write an application that uses powerful
features from interactive mode and simultaneously relies on a "standard"
typechecker.
