Comment(by simonpj):
For the release notes, why don't you write a couple of suggested sentences
and send them to Ian? I don't konw if there's a draft 7.2 release-notes
files yet, even.
For the manual, I've just taken a look. I think the best thing would
really be this:
* Start a whole new chapter, perhaps after the FFI chapter, entitled
"Extending GHC". The idea is that this chapter would cover
* Using GHC as a library; the GHC API and package `ghc`
* Plugins (which of course use package `ghc`)
* Annotations (currently in 7.3.6)
* Make an initial stab at populating the chapter. For the GHC API you
can include a pointer to [http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/GHC/As_a_library]
* Not forgetting to update the flag descriptions in Section 4
Does that make sense? Doubtless
