Haskell IDE Core

Our vision is that you should build an IDE by combining:

• hie-bios for determining where your files are, what the dependencies, what extensions are enabled etc.
• hie-core - this library - for defining how to type check, when to type check, and producing messages.
• haskell-lsp for sending those messages to an LSP server.
• A VS Code extension, e.g. extension in this directory.

There are more details in this blog post.
