    If you're synthesizing code, beware that addAnnotationsForPretty will always add a preceding space, so it will break layout. The best approach I've found for synthesizing code is to construct an HsExpr GhcPs, use the GHC ppr stuff to prettty print it, and then parse that in order to get reasonable Anns for it.

    in one of my project, I need to do some manipulation and transformation of Haskell source code files and AFAIK ghc-exactprint is the right tool for that. Unfortunately I have zero experience with this one, there seems not to be any more detailed documentation/tutorial examples. What is the best way how to learn this library? Can you recommend any sources?
