yi-0.2: Yi/Kernel.hs

-- | This module is the interface to GHC (interpreter).  It knows
-- nothing about Yi (at the haskell level; it can know names of
-- modules or functions as strings)

-- | GHC API Kernel. 
-- Calls to the GHC API must go though this type. (Because of the use "global variables" in GHC I imagine)
-- ie. the simpler approach of passing just the GHC session does not work.
