Runtime Haskell interpreter
Since ghc 8.10 (confirmed with ghc 8.10.4), `hint` (which I use through `mueval`) produces duplicate location information in parse errors: ``` $ mueval -e '+' #ghc 8.8.4 :1:1: error: parse...
currently, hint's package database is configured in the same way ghc is, via environment variables and `-package-db` arguments. This is super old-school, nowadays people use a `.cabal` file to specify...
it is possible to set the visible modules using `setImportsQ`; it would be nice to also be able to specify the visible packages (and maybe the list of package databases...
Hi, hint is for 3rd party running code provided by the end user, but I was not able to find how to control access to packages from script code. Let's...

Using hint using non-base packages currently fails in benchmarks. For more details, see the stack issue: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/3462
