This would be a Good Thing and not too hard.
How would you like to specify where to stop? "After the last
blob of debug output" might be a reasonable answer, but
we definitely also want to be able to carry on. Yet another flag?

GHC is controlled by a little script, one "instruction" of which is
"dump the ext-core". I have long wanted to externalise the script
file so that you can write it youself; just one more thing we have
not done yet.
