<para>Emission of external Core format. The goal is for
other tools to be able to grab the Core resulting from GHC's
front end manglings and optimisations. Core format is
- formally defined by the document <replaceable>An External
- Representation of the GHC Core Language</replaceable> in the
- GHC repository. We also have sample
- tools for reading, writing and typechecking external Core.
+ formally defined by the document <ulink url="http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/papers/core.ps.gz"
+ <citetitle>An External Representation for the GHC Core Language</citetitle></ulink>.

Ultimately we plan that Core files can also be read by
GHC. The relevant flag is <option>-fext-core</option>.
