> We should think about how to avoid this in future. That is, a way to
answer the question "does this function form part of the advertised GHC
API?".
If this stuff is used by a client, then we should export it from GHC.
Roughly speaking, we should look at clients from time to time to see what
they're using that isn't exported from GHC, and decide whether (a) we want
to put it there, or (b) we want to expose something else nicer.
Eventually the GHC module will be useful enough on its own that we can
start hiding the other modules in the GHC package.
