hbb: Extraordinary Haskell programming

This project aims to create a tool which should be easily embeddable in text editors to assist them to provide extraordinary editing features for the Haskell programming language. To archieve this, the tool is based on the library of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC).

The name hbb is short for haskell busy bee and should remind one of the programmers using it. It consists of the library hbb and a command line tool which has the name libhbb-cli. libhbb-cli has been chosen because in another repository the features of (the library) hbb and ghc-mod are merged into an executable hbb which provides (many more) features than libhbb-cli.

One outstanding feature of hbb is is the possibility to inline a function binding.
