hi-file-parser

Provide data types and functions for parsing the binary .hi files produced by GHC. Intended to support multiple versions of GHC, so that tooling can:

• Support multiple versions of GHC
• Avoid linking against the ghc library
• Not need to use ghc's textual dump file format.

Note that this code was written for Stack's usage initially, though it is intended to be general purpose.
