It turns out this file wasn't in the build system and was causing a lot of warnings upon compilation. Further digging into what is that it does revealed it is a code for handling `sexp-show` from Hackage to do some Show-related edits in the buffer. However, it ain't clear how it's supposed to work (sexp-show just hangs when invoked with --help) and if it's even useful for PureScript (the file was part of the haskell-mode codebase when the project was forked). Original haskell-mode removed this code in 2015 here haskell/haskell-mode#616 with commentary: > It requires the sexp-show package (which hasn't been updated since 2012 > and was abandoned in 2014) to be installed from Hackage to work. > However, even if it's customization option is enabled it doesn't > actually seem to be used/called anywhere, making it less than useful. > > Closes #615 Let's follow the trend.
