(disclaimer: I am _very_ new to this!) You may be able to extract
those fields from the "ModGuts"obtained by compiling the file that
you are traversing.

The desugaring process (of which dsExpr is a part) creates a
bunch of distinct ("fresh") names. To do so it needs to tap
into the Unique supply (see newUniqueId.) In addition, the
DsM tracks some environments, source locations (getSrcSpanDs,
putSrcSpanDs) etc...
