Haskell mode for Emacs/Hoogle.el

DEPRECATED as of haskell-mode version 2.4. Use the function haskell-hoogle, provided by haskell-mode, instead.

An Emacs Lisp library to integrate Hoogle with Emacs. The documentation is mostly the docstring of the hoogle-lookup function.

You'll need haskell-mode, at least version 2.2.
