+ The GHC Commentary - The Glorious Driver
+
+ The Glorious Driver (GD) is the part of GHC that orchestrates the
+ interaction of all the other pieces that make up GHC. It supersedes the
+ Evil Driver (ED), which was a Perl script that served the same
+ purpose and was in use until version 4.08.1 of GHC. Simon Marlow
+ eventually slayed the ED and instated the GD.
+
+ The GD has been substantially extended for GHCi, i.e., the interactive
+ variant of GHC that integrates the compiler with a (meta-circular)
+ interpreter since version 5.00.
