Description
There are a number of trac tickets related to the way GHC reports errors, with a view to improving them.
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8809
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10073
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10179
For tooling support, there should be an option to return errors in some kind of typed structure that can be easily an unambiguously processed by the tool.
This is in general a hard task, with deep tentacles into GHC.
Is there any low hanging fruit we can harvest in time for GHC 8.1?
