Using alist in doc mode #1530

Open vasanthaganeshk opened 7 years ago

vasanthaganeshk commented 7 years ago

alist is being used to store function / operator. We could use a hash-table. Faster lookups?

Both of these hardcoded lists are mostly useless and should be superseded by a direct query to the compiler.

I feel that we should let it stay. This is because not all of them might want to start up a process and query it for docs. When there is no inferior haskell process, the docs still work minimally this way.
